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.

We are deleting them. ._. They are registered by people it seems, so security questions won't work all that well D:

So make a captcha for a forum post then?

That would be annoying as hell ._.

We're thinking about a few things, including more registration questions or a different human-verification scheme (like the picture-finding one.)

how would that manage to detect any bots at all? xD

Honetly, if you are doing approx. 8 posts a day, 8 captchas isn't a lot. Just make the post cooldown time shorter.

How about we just make a script to see if a name sounds stupid :3
