Dr. Cakey Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Spambots have gotten pretty damn sophisticated (how I don't know). There's an option for manual validation, right? You could try that, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] But I figured spambots worked by guessing a crapton of answers. So, wouldn't A-Z be one of the first they would guess, granting easier entry? On the other hand, I may have no idea what I'm spewing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"1 + 1 = ?" is used very often, so spambots are now programmed to answer that correctly. 2. Spambots use the brute-force approach (now known as the Yami Marik approach to door-opening), so a short answer (like, say, a one-letter or one-number answer) will be cracked quickly.

Catterjune Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 It's just See spot run And yes, you can have multiple answers to questions so See Spot Run, SEE SPOT RUN, see spot run, etc etc are all accepted answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think I can. Also, another change has been put in: Users must acknowledge a warn given to them by a moderator before they will be allowed to post again. Hopefully this will make it even harder on spam bots, as well as making warned users cut down on their spam, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
