: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?

I,ve been a member of subsim for too long that I dont remember the Registration page :rotfl:
I read here on wiki about a method against spambots on forums , interesting thought. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

Might be more effort than you want to go to, but you could discourage spambots by having a first-post authorization required.
By that I mean that, after registering, a new member would have to post first in an 'introduction' area (and is blocked from posting everywhere else) and can only post in the main forums after having their first post approved. |

Gizzmoe how about finding a system that uses images instead of letters.
For example: To register click on the Angry face. You can't decode that can you? Make it a sequence then. Select the boxes according to the order in which the objects appear: Tree, car, submarine, man, tree. What the hell, make it an IQ test! :rotfl: Which is the odd one out? Apple, Peach, Tomato, Torpedo. Lucky I'm already registered and don't have to go through the shame of failing it.:rotfl:

Ok, Gizzmoe made a mod to defeat spambots. As suggested by TteFAboB and Ducimus, the mod adds a "No Spam" question to the registration process.

A spambot will not be able to answer correctly "automatically"... so we will see how it goes. All hail Gizzmoe! |

Ad Still There
There is still a Nokia N95 ad visible from the main forum page in the Sub Command forum, even though the post is actually gone. Shouldn't that be gone, or will it only disappear when someone else posts there?
EDIT - OK, it is gone now. Last edited by AG124; 11-25-06 at 12:10 PM. |
