Bots

Are the admins not doing something about this?

What's needed is a captcha system for registration.

We don't have this? I assumed we did. That is madness. This is a very basic and simple step. Someone should let Admin know.

I don't remember, it's been a while since I registered, but if we do, it sucks!

 

[Admin]

We don't have captcha. Captcha is easy to bypass.

We have literally 21 custom questions that have to be manually answered after actually thinking about each one, that randomly appear each time the page loads.

And theyre still bypassing it.

Trust me. All lockdowns are in place.

Looking into how they're bypassing it. Must not be a bot ....

Damn Admin. That's insane. I think you're right. It could be a person using a Proxy site. I know some forums ban some of the major proxy sites, but not sure how this works.

Your random question is not OK. When you have an answer (key word) in your random question... Also I dont remember if there was a math question. Try to use letters instead of numbers in general. You could even combine digits and words, for numbers, if you know what I mean.

Aren't image-based captchas usually the strongest?

 

[Abu Hairy Al-Forhedi]

Bot can read(process) image captcha. The best would be some sort of vidoopcaptcha but I dont know if there is a plugin for vB.

Abu Hair Al Forhedi has the best username I have ever seen in 15 years on this site so I will do everything he suggests. Period.

Thanks for the tips!

spammers totally ruin forums, do these bots get anything out of it ?

I wish there was a way to automatically catch bots and ban them.
