Influx of spam bots?

[Cyndi]

I've seen and reported a few I spotted registering. I think there's been two or three in the last 24 hours. Is this a monthly wave or something? At this rate I wouldn't mind being a mod just to wipe out these bots when I spot them registering >.< I may not do great at keeping people in line, but I could be a spam bot police person or something and nip them in the bud when I see them signing up.

Hey admins, is there any way to change the registering area of this board so you have to enter a code(ie copy a jpg image of random letters)? You know, like on Yahoo. It might cut down on the bots as well.....just a suggestion. :)

We are brainstorming ideas about how to cut down on them. These guys are really just a minor annoyance especially around the holidays.

Yeah, I really don't notice 'em that much.


Though every once in a while I run across one...

Basically, as long as you ignore them and don't click on a link to anything, they can't harm you.

[Cyndi]

Aww, can I keep one as a pet? I promise I'll train it not to leave its spam-poo all over the board. Pwease? *puppy face*

[EternalMothra]

It seems as though the spam they keep posting gets even more inappropriate every day.

[Burkion]

I dunno.

That last one only wanted to sell us a house.

[EternalMothra]

I've seen some wanting to sell sexual things.....hehe....

AAH! Horny spam bots, they're looking to mate and breed! They must be stopped!

OMG, that is hilarious!:laugh:

[Void Skull]

I have the butcher knife ready if any of them start to "fadunk in the trunk"...

[EternalMothra]

Well for the past couple days they haven't been as bad as they were, lets hope it stays that way.

[Void Skull]

Some of them like to close the door when they mate, they aren't gonna shout it out. Unless their drunk...

[Cyndi]

ROFLMAO! Funny stuff, man!

I've instated some more rigid requirements for registering, so hopefully the days of the Spam Bots are over.

[EternalMothra]

YAY, that is great. :) Those registration requirements help, however it makes more work for the admins, since they have to activate the validating accounts, at least that is what I do on KG lol. ;)

It would seem that in my absence kaijuphile went through an interesting time.

In a sense I guess you could say that lol.

[Cyndi]

Some still seem to get through, but not like before. I'll keep reporting them on sight :)
