    Oh, look who's back!

    3 VFM's and 5 VFM's-in-training (though I don't know what powers they have), and the spambots are running loose.
    Let's see how long this lasts. Started at exactly 8:30 UTC, so about half an hour so far.

    Wait... I thought accounts had to be manually approved now? At least that's what I gathered from this quote:

    Approval is a manual process but it's rather heuristic. I used to decline obvious gibberish names, and that worked for a while, and then bots switched to selecting a combination of real words. Then it was based on something else, and bots bypassed that too now, I think.
    Did someone accidentally approve multiple gibberish names? :o

    No, I think someone accidentally left the Non-GMS section open for unapproved members to post in.
