Looks like the captcha isn't doing a good job at all against these spambots.

Mmm, I'll add something like what we used to have to my backburner list of projects.

Those spambots were getting annoying. It seems they were taken care of already.

Just because I joined officially a few days ago doesn't mean I haven't been around for a while.

Well, I've also seen a case on a few forums of bots getting extremely intelligent.

Like, on the Nexus War topic, there was a question topic asking about why fuel cans were counted as "ammo" instead of "other items" in the stronghold safe system (it's because it powers chainsaws, if anyone wondered). The discussion went on for a bit, but then eventually died off.

Recently, a bot RDT'd, and said how it was using a no-spill fuel can, and asked if it should be classified with ammo. It then provided this link.


The bots, they are evolving.

Or maybe the bots are trying to take over the world with non spill gas cans?

I'm going to reiterate that we REALLY need our old system back. I've been banning like 2 spambots per day lately.

I got online today and there was spam in at least half of the forums I visited.

I don't know how you used to do it, but I agree we need to go back to it.

If by "old security system" you mean "What colour is an orange?", I shan't stand for such language >:C

Were there more than one question? I remember it being "What is the second word in this sentence?"

But, really, it worked.

I know it would seem obvious, but are bots computers programed to spam?

Yeah, they're just programs that hijack a computer with/without you realizing, and then use it to send out automated messages.

We should totally ask "What color is a leom?" and give them a link to the enZIclopedia. Therefore they have to look through it and find out what a leom is, learning about ZI in the process, then they'll be able to answer the question.

I have a feeling that this would reduce the number of new people in general though due to the lazy attitude of people on the internet. >_>

Awesome! Then the bots know where to place that Ugg Boots article!
