Thanks.

Luc's Mod-Sword: Belonging to Baron Luc Arkhame the Noob Slayer, this ancient blade has butchered too many useless threads to count.
The Mod-Sword wounds automatically all posts and all posters that are subject to the Stupidity rule. No saves of any kind can be taken. All hits count as flaming attacks. In addition, the wearer is Frenzied.

I was referring to the following:

QUOTE (Luc)

*fiery sword'd*

although perhaps you're right. Perhaps the reference to Stupidity should be removed, though, as you can construct a post that is spam, flame or trolling and still be intelligent about it. Just make it affect Flamers, Trolls and Spammers - aren't they a type of Gnoblar?

On second thoughts, I fear perhaps we should stop this conversation lest we invoke the Mod-Sword ourselves.

Some do, but it doesn't shut all bots out (some can at times be controlled by humans or something

)

Anyways, just put on 'email validation' in Admin CP and you'll never have to deal with bots of any kind again.
