Recently i removed an entire page of people who had at least one or more ! in the front of their name, zero posts, and a link to a porn and business site of some sort. And now just in 2 days we already had 7 users doing this 3 of which were pure advertising.

Its a cheap trick, and even those who aren't doing it for the purpose of advertising are just being a bit lame to be on the TOP of the members list.

All current users with !!! in the front have been edited. If you can't log in it because you must sign in under your name WITHOUT !!! in front.

I'm also blocking users from having !! in the username so i, hopefully, won't have to waste an entire day checking accounts again.

Simply delete the dead accounts and rename the !! active accounts
