 For those of you who are still set as "Newcomers" and have yet to post in the Welcome topic I am advising you now to post in it to be promoted to a Civilian member. Upon the 17th of January I will perform a mass Newcomer account deletion. We have almost 200 Newcomer account and almost 90% of it is spam accounts. I will be updating our ban and spam filters during the time before hand to help prevent more spam accounts.

As for those of you few who seam to not be able to promote to Civilian and gain access to the forums no matter how many times you post in the welcome thread, please send me a PM and I will promote you manualy.

Again I shall restate that The Mass deletion of Newcomer accounts (those who have not replied in the welcome section) will happen upon the 17th of January. This is the best time for me to be able to sit down and do this before I have a tournament to go to on the weekend. I am sick of seeing the member count rise when its just plain old spam accounts so I am going to try my best to do something about it. So I am advising now a few days ahead of time for everyone to either reply in the welcome section or say good bye to your newcomer account.

NOTE: You have been for-warned, any arguments about this being unfair upon or after newcomer account deletion can be met with an automatic ip ban from the forums.

Kazuki out! *vanish*

 As many of you know the more popular a site gets the more spam it gets from stupid Anons that just make peoples lives harder and harder. Well because of this I am having to do another mass account deletion to delete over 645 bot accounts (luckily my spam prevention prevents them from posting, thank me for at least that much). At 12:00am Eastern time March the 23nd I will delete those accounts.

The same rules and ideas stay with this mass account deletion as the last one above. So if you have any complaints read above and then act accordingly. (If you still want to cause trouble then please feel free to take a look at my avatar and try to take a guess at what I will do :D )
