Nozzle deleted all accounts on the forums that were made today and yesterday. Speak to him bud.
Nozzle?
Nazo. And that's not something that we should be doing, only ban an account after you've checked something it's posted.

There's no need to make a tedious process even more tedious. If people
helped me ban bots I'd be fine but I've been banning waves of these fuckers by myself for a long time.

I ban them from the unread topics page, it only adds a couple seconds and makes sure that doesn't happen.

What I do is I click the unread topics page and read the list of usernames. If I recognize the user names as words I leave them alone but if it's all gibberish or random letters and numbers I delete it. If I'm not sure I check the topic title.

I'm sorry I'm not on all the time...
But I do what TGN does.

I understand that but either way my job is already tedious enough as is.
Why don't you just turn the captcha back on?
Apparently Maddie was wrong and it's been on.
... eeeeeeh I've kinda always wanted to be a moderator.

You should ask John. That's literally all Slender did and look at him.
In response to what was said earlier,
Yes, I do mass ban, but for the reason that it makes all your lives easier, I deselect accounts that are civilian accounts and and I have set search terms, like, recently, there were about 200+ bot signups in the past few days, so I got rid of the accounts that had bot-like names that registered between now and two days ago, have 1-5 posts, and ID range (The number in your URL when you view a profile) and other specific terms so I don't accidentally delete a persons account.
Abincray is a name that sounds like a bots name, the fact that you used a picture that's similar to a default picture or is doesn't help, sorry to say.
Just the other day I deleted about 3 pages of spam bots on the off topic/spam section, and even before posting this I deleted 3 bot accounts. I know some of you think I don't do anything about bots, but I really do, I just don't do it one by one so it's not really notice, nor do I really mention them.

It's been on? What?
Do we have a mail account confirmation?
You know, where you get a account activation link sent to your mail and you have to click it?
Yes, but that doesn't stop the bots.
They seem to have calmed down...

John fixed the captcha. On the other version, it actually wasn't there despite what was said. Hence all the bots.
And we all lived happily ever after.
