Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - tokumei - 09-12-2013
I've seen about 5 different forum bots posting on the forums in the past 24 hours. There needs to be some way to detect/delete them.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xeomorpher - 09-12-2013
We are deleting them. ._. They are registered by people it seems, so security questions won't work all that well D:
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xray_Doc - 09-12-2013
So make a captcha for a forum post then?
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xeomorpher - 09-12-2013
That would be annoying as hell ._.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - redstonewarrior - 09-12-2013

We're thinking about a few things, including more registration questions or a different human-verification scheme (like the picture-finding one.)
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xeomorpher - 09-12-2013
I like pictures!
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Chibill - 09-12-2013
Or a once a week one that see if your a bot.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xeomorpher - 09-12-2013
how would that manage to detect any bots at all? xD
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xray_Doc - 09-12-2013
Honetly, if you are doing approx. 8 posts a day, 8 captchas isn't a lot. Just make the post cooldown time shorter.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xeomorpher - 09-12-2013
How about we just make a script to see if a name sounds stupid :3
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Chibill - 09-12-2013
Or a once a week random question that you get on Monday every week and if you can't answer it you can't post
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - redstonewarrior - 09-13-2013
Good news! As I suspected, our security questions plugin was not functioning. I have played with it, and have managed to get it working again. Hopefully, no more spambots!

That would be even more alarming, because the world would clearly be coming to an end.

Holy crap. You're still alive? That's more alarming than what I said.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - redstonewarrior - 09-13-2013
Okay, so we murdered one breed of spambots. Time for more technical registration questions.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Xray_Doc - 09-13-2013
How about, what does ORE stand for? Or how many bones are in a bot?
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Chibill - 09-13-2013
Spam bot in the programming section

We need someone to be a dedicated bot-assassin.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - Chibill - 09-14-2013
Or a rank between admin staff and member that can select accounts that can't post till an admin checks there posts out.
RE: Please get rid of these bots!!!!!! - ROFLCopter64bit - 09-14-2013
I have ultimate idea. We have to approve everyone's first 5 posts before they can be posted.
I win.

If you want to sort through all that, go ahead. I'm not.
