In the recent time there were almost every day a new bot posting crap in the forum.
Is it possible to make the registration more difficult for bots to pass? e.g. the simple but effective "write the letters from the gif" question.

when python gets around to updating the forum software it will now use Recaapatcha which stops most bots. I sent it the day we came back online why isn't updated yet?

When did these bots show up? These bots happened to ruin the forum community of a private server I played on for World of Warcraft, causing everyone to leave... I don't want that happening here :(

And to note, some of these bots post pornography links and sometimes pictures, so they must be stopped before they do cause trouble :(

I was reading the most recent bot post.
I couldn't help LOL at the stuff it advertises - a patch for Icewind Dale! I've got that game.

Probably the admins are busy, they'll be back soon to update.

The ones I've seen have only appeared in the Mod announcements forum and no-where else on TiberiumWeb.

Well, the registration procedure already uses an image code, i guess that one's been cracked then. I think i'll leave installing a better one to Python wink1.gif

Something must be done about this.. at the time I'm posting this there are four different bot-topics in Mod Announcements. Seems they post everything of their spam there.

hah, my PM box gets like five "reported post" PMs a day. Please don't feel compelled to report every one of these bots you see, and save us poor moderators having a PM box full of like 1000 of these wacko.gif
As long as it's isolated in the 'Mod Announcements' forum, I'll just keep an eye out. Thanks!

Whoa, nice.
I think I'll stop reporting, then.
Maybe we should have one person patrol each section for bots! A new position on staff!

Yeah.. I already reported that to the moderators a few hours ago. Most of the bots still seem to post only in the Mod Announcements forum though.

Sounds good, but I don't think that is necessary ATM.. I see only 1-2 bot posts in a day and most of the time the admins/moderators delete them about as soon as they appear.

I have updated the forum software to the latest version. The bot problem should now be history. For now anyways.

If you spot any further bot postings or any that have been missed please feel free to PM me so I can sort it out. Thank you.

Thread Locked.
