Hyperactive Spam Bot

Someone accidently put the characters "o-" on the blacklist that powers the spambot. So, naturally, the spambot went into overdrive issuing multiple bans since o- something is somewhat o-common. All bans issued by the spambot in error will be undone. Apologies for the inconvenience.

John Stark @ http://www.enworld.org/member.php?userid=38437 seems to have also been caught in the overactive spam block; was his ID one of those that had access restored?

It was, Allan; I fixed it this morning. But if he's still having trouble, please post here and I'll make sure I did it correctly!

After reading this this morning, I traced the culprit in question to none other than myself.

Long story short, due to my misunderstanding of the spambot filter's scope, I added a truncated spammer's URL to the list that was WAAAY too common, causing several posters to get accidentally nailed.

My apologies to all affected.

If there's five dragons, they're standard monsters.
If there's a dozen dragons, either most of them are minions or your DM is tired of the campaign.
