That'd about eliminate many people online.

Here is the Whatis.com definition of ICQ.

"ICQ

- ICQ ("I Seek You") is a program you can download that will let you know when friends and contacts are also online on the Internet. ICQ allows you to page them, chat with them, and initiate and participate in PC-to-PC calls, PC-to-phone and phone-to-phone calling cards calls. Like AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM), in order to use ICQ, both parties must have downloaded the program.
The free download and registration procedures are user friendly. ICQ enables you to send messages, files (single, multiple or whole directories), and URLs directly to your friends. In addition, you can initiate an IRC-style chat session or voice and video-voice connection and play games with other ICQ members that you are in touch with. Your contact is signalled of an incoming event in real time and has immediate access to it. "
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be. -Willy Wonka, 1971-

You guys are quite vigilant... that's a good thing for annoying spammers (who seem to be equally as vigilant, unfortunately) - like a personal detective squad. :)

But admit it... you like posting your finds more than PMing admins, no? :wink:

User jessthurman just posted a rather questionable thread in the General Lego section, judging by the title.

Sorry, I don't quite remember the process of registering to post at this site, (and apologies if this has been suggested already) but don't admins manually approve each member before s/he can post? If that isn't the case, then would that be possible? Yes, it would take a couple minutes each day to see if any new people signed up, but that would virtually eliminate all of these stupid spammers...

Edit: Actually, disregard this post of mine. I just saw this thread...

Don't usually reply here, but new user BenKrucher has some questionable interests. Didn't even bother checking his site; banning recommended.
