Dammit, it's offical, subsim's been pegged by spambots.

Well, that is better than being stuck with them in the forum, I guess.:hmm: If I see any more, I will let one of the moderators or Neal know about it.

Actually, it's easier to PM me with the title Spammer and all you have to put in the message is the spammer's username (spelled correctly). It's only two clicks to remove all his posts and delete his account. Then I can add his IP and main part of his e-mail to the ban.

I think there back!!

I spot 2 already this morning, and have reported both.

There's another one named Pitasac or something in the general topics forum now.

I've reported him to Neal Stevens.

Now he's gone.

That was quick. Still, this forum is facing a lot of them lately.

All from @web.de e-mails, I've blocked it for now.

:hmm: about spambots, I heard about Forum registration that they use
generic codes as a confirmation
like with MSN
you registrate, name,email etc etc
and at the bottom a small field with a weird code appears for you to confirm the account registration

for example

(if you refresh this thread page this code changes as well , check it )

and that one keeps changing when making an new account or you refreshed the page.

maybe will it prevent spambots to create an account?
