Stop registration for some time, please. I guess for now it is the only way. BUT the bots probably already got a bunch of avatars, so, since the start of this crazy stuff, I guess all new avatars should be closed and asked for new verification mail (to sort real from bot, if possible).

Can't vote for a bug right now - database error "too many connections".

That doesn't even make sense. :P What ambiguous UK guy and why do you think I'm feeling lonely?

I think he's referring to abill_uk.

P.S. Bug will be fixed in step 7 of 6. :)

Sorry if it sounds like nonsense, English is not my native language (despite the fact I am sure you got what I mean). I would love to argue with you some day, just not before the day this spam mess is sorted.

I'm not sure there was an argument to be had. You just sound very, very uptight right now. Maybe you just shouldn't be replying to or making a joke when you're head-down busy doing something with intent. At any rate, good luck with the spammer. I can at least agree that it's frustrating and obnoxious and I really wish they would eat sh*t and die already.

My theory is that the spammers are either:

A. Eflops flying monkeys.

B. Some MeeGo fanboys trying to drive us to meego.com.
