emersion Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey there, Was just browsing the forum and kept seeing lots of spam posts. Could anyone explain to me why this keeps happening? I thought there was some sort of filter upon registering is their not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 From what I understand admins always check for bots and ban dodgers before they activate that account. Clearly it doesn't work 100% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSF Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Anti spambot measures are not perfect. Some bots are developed further until they can break through said measures. Last one in particular must've slipped by, as the spambot frequency isn't as high as it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverbounD Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 One small forum I frequent let a bot in on accident. It actually took words from your conversations and made complete sentences to make it seem like it was trying to have a conversation. It didn't even link you or anything it just wanted to "talk". Anyway it's posts were so funny we kept it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 There was about 200 users waiting to be approved. I went through all of them, checking each and every IP. I still managed to accidentally approve a few spam bots in the process. I apologize for the oversight on those few, but their IPs checked out. That's why I approved them. The pending members list is absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosol Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I didn't realize it wasn't automated. Was it changed to a manual approval recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 It was changed to manual a long time ago. Last one in particular must've slipped by, as the spambot frequency isn't as high as it was before. On the contrary! All we get is spambots now! Also, emersion... it has come to my attention that you are Blazefire. This thread is now a thread to make fun of you and to celebrate your longest bandodge to date.
