i don't get why there is so much protection from automatic accounts... the spammers can just make a new account simply like i did...
oh by the way, i'm striderhien, just made this account to see how hard it is to make a new account

There is ip block. I myself have sent a lot of ips to the admin block. Mostly from db spammers
