Please get rid of these bots!!!!!!

[tokumei]

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.

[Xeomorpher]

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

[Xray_Doc]

So make a captcha for a forum post then?

[Xeomorpher]

That would be annoying as hell ._.

[redstonewarrior]

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

[Xeomorpher]

I like pictures!

[Chibill]

Or a once a week one that see if your a bot.

[Xeomorpher]

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

[Xray_Doc]

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

[Xeomorpher]

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

[Chibill]

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

[redstonewarrior]

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!

What about I am going to start acting more mature?

That would be hard to believe

Hoeraay!

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.

[redstonewarrior]

Okay, so we murdered one breed of spambots. Time for more technical registration questions.

[Xray_Doc]

How about, what does ORE stand for? Or how many bones are in a bot?

[Chibill]

Spam bot in the programming section

[ROFLCopter64bit]

We need someone to be a dedicated bot-assassin.

[Chibill]

Or a rank between admin staff and member that can select accounts that can't post till an admin checks there posts out.

[ROFLCopter64bit]

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.

[Xeomorpher]

Easier - capcha on first X posts.

That i'll work

I was the pro at that back on the RDF. I was online too much...
