As discussed at length...matchmaking would not solve the problem and would put financial burden on Arcen when quite frankly the "issue" is easily solved by just being social. Which unless your going to be mute throughout the entire 10 hour+ match, your going to have to do anyway. :)
Although I can't tell if you were saying that matchmaking is the "solution" to this "problem" or if you were saying this is the game's "matchmaking". (sorry if I'm wrong)

It was actually a semi-clever spammer, the signature link was a google search on some kind of things on your feet, and looking at the google results they all looked like the kind of spam they used to post directly in the post bodies ;)
But it did look like sort of like an on-topic, potentially-semi-helpful (if we hadn't been over the subject a dozen times already) response. Reminds me eerily of http://xkcd.com/810/ .

Heh. The mouseover text for that reminds me of something that happened recently on a forum I help run. When reCAPTCHA was broken earlier this year and its effectiveness at stopping spam substantially dropped, we tried setting up some other simple things, because we're not large enough to get bots targeted directly at our site. One of them was asking trivial questions that any human could answer but would require a bot to be able to parse English. We just got an email from someone saying they tried 30 times to register an account and failed, and they were begging us to tell them what color the Beatles' White Album is...

We do something like that here, but overall with simpler questions. I had to take down one of them, though, because too many people could not solve 1 + 1 - 1. Seriously.
