In light of the recurring bot annoyances on this board, a concerned member such as myself wonders what kind of spam/bot protection will there be in the future? It is quite disappointing to see that 13 new posts are all by the same spammer/bot when I expected actual activity from our members. dry.gif

Unfortunately it's not something I can sort straight away with the file situation of the website (everything's GTAG v2 files now) but I hope to link GTAG's registration system to an online database which holds records of spambot activity as well as changing the CAPTCHA. Although in my mind CAPTCHA's hinder more than help.

This is another GTAG v2 thing but I am trying to keep the bots down now. Unfortunately I have to go for a week but I'm sure Spider-Vice will be able to keep things under control.

o noes Silent iz bot. b&

Okay, as Deji said bot protection is something that's nearly impossible now due to the mess that the site is internally and just due to the fact that if it's some bot infection due to the non-very-activeness of the site, it'll be even harder to avoid. But well I'm here almost every day and I'll deal with all the bots needed, yet it can be very annoying, that's how administering a forum is.
