Lots of Love from me :)

It's a right pain, we don't want to be waking you up for them. It must feel like a chore and I hope it doesn't spoil your mornings?
I just assumed female because they set the accounts up like that but you're right they could be male. Could even be some weird bot, the original volumes were certainly a programme.
Is there no way to route them into somewhere to be released later? I know you guys spent ages trying to find a way, and you've probably already explored this, but I wondered if a rule to route Korean members would at least spare you waking up having to stop the damage? I think they used to sign up as other nationalities too but it's seems to be Korean these days.
Not that I'm suggesting a re-routing somewhere like, oh I don't know, Donald Trump's Twitter account :whistles:
My phone is on do not disturb til 8am, so I only look before then if my bloody cat decides he wants the catflap opening and being fed..... at the minute that happens at about half 5!! and if I end up turning the computer on at that time I will go back to bed again.. normally.
I think they are bots as they post at quite a rate, there can be 200 plus posts in just a few hours.
When they were coming daily like they were last time then we turned on new member moderation throughout the night which meant when we were getting up we could moderate and ban who were the spammers and let anyone else through. Only Nic and Alex can turn that on so at the miinute that isn't possible, and it isn't every night..... yet
We could (I think) put a ban on all Korean IP's joining, but then they will use proxy IP's so it looks like they are coming from other places and then they will be allowed to register... such fun!
Lol Donald Trumps twitter is a good plan....
Whisper, I was joking. :)
The Koreans need to be taught what a Bank Holiday is...
Thanks again folks :)
There are no holidays in North Korea... :scared15:
:ohmy: first Monday in over a month,

venus would it help if all new accounts, no matter where they say they come from, have to have their first few posts looked at before getting allowed up and when a admin has looked at a minimum of one of their posts and allow it up they can then post freely?
would this be a help?
idk about the tech side of it so dont know if its doable?
