I just tried to get on for the first time today and got a message that I was temporarily banned. I just assumed it was because of my view on Andy's arms vs. RPM.

Sorry about the spam bot. They answered the "What was your first hobby grade R/C model" answer correctly which is how their account got approved. It's rare but it happens.

It's like the online version of Wack-A-Mole... who didn't love that game?!

Credit to 'em for putting a cell phone sales pitch in the "Modern Electronics" section though.

Oddly enough we just had a bogus sign-up that used 'Tamiya Grasshopper.' I caught it due to the username being a female name. Whenever I have a doubt if a new member is legitimate or not, I check the IP address geolocation and Google the email address to see if it shows up on any spammer list which it did.
