What's up with these bots showing up?

 

[shadowstar]

They have figured out a way around the image code verification. D:

Simple someone is being a jackarse to some of the best fan game developers site and forum on the planet!

I hate arseholes....

I believe someone did a spam check on this forum and reported a lot of exploits. We need to patch this board up, if only Mystic knew more about how to operate the board. :P

Changing the names of viewprofile.php and viewtopic.php appear to help. I think this is because spambots check for the default names and get horribly confused when they do. For example, the ZDoom.org forums name these salad and potato respectively.

Forcing E-Mail activation also helps since bots often don't have a valid E-Mail address as well.

 

[Rob]

The latter has already been done.

We need something like KittenAuth.

erm, check that: http://www.kittenauth.com/

 

[BlazingPhoenix]

Hmmm...SSTics *shot*.

 

[Mystic]

The latter has already been done.

No, the latter has actually been disabled to fix the fact that the e-mail registrations weren't going out. Eventually I should spam proof the forums, but honestly, they aren't all THAT frequent enough that I'm annoyed enough to fix it.

 

[hotdog003]

They don't seem to actually post anything. I don't think it's much of a problem. Yet.

 

[fox.dx2]

There are too many bots showing up.
