Spammers / new users
Thanks to the recent influx of spammers, I've restricted the ability for new users to start a new discussion. If you find yourself caught up in this and you shouldn't be, leave a message in here and I'll set your account to verified.

I don't often (ever?) agree with @drcongo on substance, but this seems a good opportunity to say genuine thanks to him for the effort (and cost?) he puts in to giving us this (well-designed) site to talk about WW. Always easy to take such things for granted but he deserves to be recognised and to hear the gratitude of us all from time to time IMHO.
Cheers DocC. Any chance you could do likewise with Richie?
I echo Dev on this one, cheers DRC.
DevC DocC, you’re trying to confuse me @EwanHoosaami !!
I too echo the former on this.
there's a lot of echoing! I shall just agree
following the Gasman was akin to taking over from Sir Alex, but luckily the good doctor is no David Moyes
Indeed, thanks for all your work @drcongo
I'll just chip in and say that between them, and probably individually too, the moderators actually do way more than I do to keep this site running smoothly.
No more useful introductions to baseball?
Well said Dev, cheers Doc.
I've set it so that every new user has to be approved by me or one of the mods for now while we're under attack.
I refrained on deleting the baseball thread as it was a good read
Great, I'm able to post again. Thanks @drcongo!
@ValleyWanderer Just stop posting your viagra offers.
????
@ValleyWanderer DM me mate.
Place is flooded with spam again this morning. Maybe we could all take turns manning a machine gun tower to get them as soon as they register.
Damnit. I think I might need to do a big software update on this place.

We got a new one
@drcongo Many thanks for all your efforts. Gasroom is brilliant. Never sure whether to address you as "doc" or "democratic republic". Which do you prefer?
Oh I never got that joke before.
@Chris If you are referring to me please accept my apologies - I honestly didn't intend my question to be taken as a joke. I'm thinking that it must be "doc" then. Don't ban me.
No I’m sure you’re right! I hadn’t realised there was a pun about the DRC in @drcongo’s name.
And unless you start posting dodgy links about baseball or maximising your income working from home then you’ll be fine.
The name was originally chosen for that very pun. However it does mean that an awful lot of people mistake me for the country on Twitter.
I once got a notification of a twitter mention on my phone that said "@drcongo is the greatest human..." - I thought, oh that's nice, then I tapped on it and revealed the rest of the tweet "@drcongo is the greatest humanitarian disaster in the world."
In other news, I think I've managed to stem the flood of spammers.
Great story Doc, tell it again
Well done, doc. Do you think you might do something about the spanners next?
They've painted a yellow Limbs exclusion zone what more do you want?
No publicity is bad publicity.
Dr Congo is a thoroughly nice person given that he's the greatest humanitarian disaster in the world
