I would like to report a spam bot. Its username is Diamante and it has caused great havoc in various topics.

Dear Diamante,

This argument is a terrible mistake for both of us. I know your family emigrated to South America because they were accused of war crimes after Word War II, and as we are both Nazis, we should stand together against inferior races instead of fighting each other.

Sieg Heil!

Good chunk of youtube accounts are indeed bots though they haven't been crapflooding our inboxes as much as they did years ago.

OK, so some time ago I joked about being a bot. I know my English is quite WTH, but this was a joke and I don't find it a reason to report me. If you do, though, you will lose the only member of PC you can pwn all the time, so I wouldn't do that if I would be you!

If whole Poland would be consisting of plumbers, then the Great Polish Sea would be more than Windows anomaly.

Ask Microsoft about that. I'd rather say it's an effect of everyone in Poland suddenly starting experimentinng with pipes.

You did well, Des.

People still didn't wonder why there is an exclamation mark icon.

Maybe you should post it in the "All you need to know about Pirate-Community" thread. Something like:

"If you see an inappropriate post, you can report it to the administrators by clicking the exclamation mark in the top-right of that post."

If you did that I think new users would be much more likely to understand how to deal with bad posts. :D
