Who are those 3 new members that never log off?

It would be nice if they were real but they are Mailbots (think Mail Robots) used to automatically generate messages (spam)

They each posted 200 spam messages in a day.
They (their IP's) have all been banned/blocked and the messages physically removed
Spam-O-Matic automatically moderated their posts so that you would never have seen them but it was a nuisance for moderators as we still see moderated posts and if I did not physically delete them I would have had to remember that the General Chat thread did not start until page 33 (they spammed 32 pages worth of posts in a day)

Although permanently banned, Jerod, Kegan and Roberto's names may however sit there forever :p

They have disappeared (TC may have done it?) but we have 3 more - already banned
I fear this will be a regular chore for me from now on
