Colorado Mammoth Message Board

As many of you are aware we have been having problems with spambots creating bogus users (I denied nearly a dozen requests today alone). We have implemented processes to prevent new bogus accounts from getting created, but we have many bogus accounts already on the books. Over the last 24 hours I have been aggressively deleting accounts that appear to be from spambots. If I accidentally deleted your account please create a new account for yourself and we will approve you ASAP.

For now I am focusing accounts that have a web site address in the profile. If there is a URL in the profile I check to see if one of the following is also associated with the account -
* A realistic location (either expressed as seats in the Pepsi Center or physical locations like Denver, USA or Canada).
* Any reference to lacrosse or the Mammoth.
* A signature.
* More than zero posts.

If the profile has any of those items and the web site linked to is not obviously commercial or pornographic I give the owner the benefit of a doubt and do not delete the account.

I thank you all for your patience as we work through this process. If you have any questions or comments feel free to send me a private comment.
