New policy on spam account deletions?

Just floating an idea out there.

Normally most spam accounts created on here are easy to spot - they contain something obvious or the name is nonsensical enough to know that its spam.

But other times, its not so obvious. Here, either the account can be allowed and then at somepoint it might start to spam away, or worse be a "test" account to see if the site actually carries out any deterrence to remove spam accounts. Leaving it will give the green light to spammers to create more spam accounts.

The other option is to delete hard and fast, hoping that if a genuine account is accidentally deleted, the genuine account holder will create a new account and potentially kick up enough of a fuss for that to not happen again.

The UK Coalition government continues its crusade against the veil and Muslim Women's freedoms

Following my previous post on the subject, it can be seen that the UK coalition government is focussing on the (non-existant) issue of the face veil, testing out waters over what they can get away with.

Today, the Health Minister Dan Poulter extending the witchhunt to the NHS - He publicly stated that "it should be up to the" GMC etc to decide if veils should be worn in hospitals etc.

If we do not protect the rights of Muslim women, we will end up like France

The general elections may be one and a half years away but it seems that electioneering has started.

Until now the Coalition government has focussed on blaming the poor and vulnerable for the poor state of the economy while ignoring their rich friends which fund them and actually created the economic mess.

But now a new front has been opened up recently, as evidenced by a college's attempt to ban the face veil in Birmingham. While the college eventually backed down, it was not without first recieving the full backing of the Prime Minister.

Essential free programs to install on a new Windows PC

There is always a ritual that is carried out on a new (or even old PC), which involves removing as much pre-installed software as possible and then replacing it with useable and essential alternatives.

(I am certain I have done a similar post like this before...)

Here is my install ritual:

(Please note that all the software listed on this page is both legal and free. No pirate programs in this list. Many will also be opensource.)

Web Browser

Firefox. Many prefer Chrome, but I prefer Firefox (en-gb localisation). I like how it works and I don't think google monitors it as actively as chrome. Another alternative is Opera Browser.

I really want to marry him

Assalamu Alaykom wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

So I got a question about
tranquility from a sister,
but about marriage proposals:

"What if the heart feels tranquillity
in a decision which isn't out of
the bounds of Shariah
yet circumstances dictate otherwise?

I.e parents turning down good
proposals due to race/status?

But you feel like the person would
be a good bet?

If the parental influence in this decision,
jeopardising the level of tranquillity
starts making you feel not tranquil,
does it become a whim if you still
wish to marry the person?

Should you just let it go because
the tranquillity has been unsettled?"

She actually answers her own
question. lol.
