Truth be told, I have had that power for years.

Hmm....So then why the need to change to this format????

Just curious.

If that's a reference to the color thing, ask Ginger, because she's doing that.

Nah, that was a post (my own) I copied b/c I couldn't link to it. It was a question. The question was, "Why the new format if IPs could have been banned before" or something like that. My original post was somewhere in one of the recent threads (shit i ain't gonna go hunt it down now) on the str8 forum....I don't care about the color but I liked the old emoticons better, fwiw.

Banning IP's is pretty much pointless. There's just way too many of them.

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether or not to keep the old smilies. It could always be changed back, or maybe install both the new ones and the old ones.

Well that's what I thought, but Greg was saying (on that other thread) that that is what he is doing. Hey, whatever works. I'm just trying to cut through to gain an understanding as to what's being done specifically to prevent the spam. Curiosity, that's all... Wish I could cite the thread, but alas....lol. So if IPs aren't banned, then how does it screen for it?
