All over the Sci/Tech section. Where did these idiots come from?

Fixed.
New users need admin approval before they are activated.
Spammers deactivated and posts deleted.

Honestly... if I don't see them, I can't delete them. SO if they don't pop up for me, it means that someone else got to them before I did. IF you see a spammer, or something that looks suspicious click the "report" thingie... it makes it highlight the post... Remember that I live on the West Coast and the other Mods have real lives (except for Z... we aren't sure what he has... but we're pretty sure it isn't catching...)

Nothing to feel bad about. It's new. And up until now, I couldn't think of a good use for it, other than to pester brite. :twisted:
