I'm really getting sick of these spammers. Dealing with their bullshit is a constant daily cycle. Honestly, I feel that we should implement a measure where each new user is automatically suspended until they contact an admin or moderator and prove that they are not a spammer (of course, they would be informed of this when signing up). -[[User:Yoshit|Yoshit]] 04:07, 27 November 2011 (PST)

:Agreed. We should at least ''try'' to implemant ''something'' to destroy all these faggots that either do nothing here or do bullshit like this constantly. It's getting to the point of insanity here. - [[User:Crazy Luigi|Crazy Luigi]] 04:56, 27 November 2011 (PST)

:::::And honestly, Sonic, I honestly don't care who (s)he is, as long as this new system stops bullshit like this from happening ever again. Or at the very least, stops it for our very near future.

::::::Honestly, I just hope that it was stopped. I hate wasting my time and watching other users wasting their time marking articles as spam.

::::::::So I've noticed. I still think Yoshit's decision was the best so far. That, or we could try getting that more recent update for the Chewiki, just so we could update our standards here. - [[User:Crazy Luigi|Crazy Luigi]] 08:32, 3 December 2011 (PST)
