Report the posts so it becomes easier for people to delete and ban the bots.

We have been, but if you check the members list, there are several who haven't even posted their spam yet.

Most adorable turing test ever.
Though better would be when Mufasa died.

When I saw those I was an evil kid with no emotions. So no, I don't think I cried. :laugh:

Nowadays I'd probably be bawling.

we need to counteract spam bots with sban bots

I was going to make a joke about how funny it would be to create a fleet of robots to automate moderation, wandering around the forums with poorly written, off topic redtext posts that don't fit the situation at hand...

...And then I realized I had just described ORCs. Whoops.

I don't know... I think some bots cried at that as well.

How about the beginning of Up? That doesn't seem like something bots could relate to.

I've removed some posts from this thread.

Two things to keep in mind, folks: First, just because a word isn't in the filter doesn't make it okay to flame people with it. Second, nothing makes it okay to flame people, regardless of whether or not you're using profanity.

On the subject of spambots: Slobad switched the CAPTCHA system we were using to a different one, which seems to have shut out the flood for now. Hopefully it won't flare up again.

New spambots have been popping up a lot recently. They seem to be doing a large slew of new threads each night. Anyone know of any good phpBB forum scripts to help with this?

Give Fire several cups of coffee and a banhammer?

If that would work, I'd be all for it.
