Default Members spamming porn.
Not sure if this has been brought to attention yet, but I noticed it while searching for a member.

It's not direct spam, but if you take a look at the memberlist, the first page has a bunch of non-posting users and their websites linking to porn sites.

Who knows how many more pages of users are doing this. An admin should go through and clean these zero-post junkies.

the "!!!username" thing is quite well known - it gets them, and their sites (usually porn, sometimes insurance and other crap spam type links) on the first page of the memberlists.

Wouldnt be that bad if they were free **rolls eyes**

Nah in all honesty thats disgusting. I mean the first person on the member list's website is a incest one.

Admins/mods need to jump on this straight away

Nice one for noticing it though Velocd

Well, this is what yaXay just did, maybe you should look into doing somethign similar:

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
