I facepalm'd.


I agree that there needs to be more staff.
However, it doesn't matter how much staff you have, it will still happen. =P
Just report and move on. Makes it easier for everyone.

Aaron is doing his best, you guys. It's not easy being one of the only three staff members to even glance at the forums and to be expected to do a majority of the work.

We can only keep banning the accounts and removing the spam they create. There may be a way of reducing the amount of them, but I'll look into that if it continues or worsens.

Maybe you could add a timer before you can post, around 30 mins or so.

I overthink things a lot, but I feel like Jeremy might be the cause of this... Maybe he put our name on the list for some huge spam bot site referral and now they are coming here because of that.

Idk, just a theory.




Leigh, the spam bots probably come from different IPs, and even if they were from the same IP we'd be affected by that too.

Ohhh, that actually sounds like a really good idea! If we can get that then I'd support it.

I think that there might even be a toggle in the admincp that has that.

Should I put it in suggestions?
Title: Re: New spamming poster bots.
Post by: Sad Panda on June 12, 2011, 12:55:47 PM
I'd do so since a staff member might not even see it anymore.

He wouldn't do that.

The bots should stop coming around now. This was the verification image you had to put in when you registered before I changed it:

You can keep refreshing the image on the registration page until you can read it.
