I really hope the new owners do something about the ridiculous amount of BOTS on this site!!

It is getting very annoying to keep deleting the same idiots over and over again!!

But alas...

Deleting the bots you don't keeps me coming back to the site about every night to clean house.  I was trying to ban them for awhile but so many have already been banned by email name that if they use a different IP address I can't block that IP address.  Kind of annoying for sure.

I wish they would put some contrast on the post and review buttons and any others as I find white letters on light gray text on a light gray background to be hard to see.  I am not color blind but I do need readers to see small text.  What is wrong with making them all change to a different color when you pass over them?  Some of the buttons do that.
