Suggestion for Bots

Post by leDoOd » Mon Sep 18, 2006 5:05 pm

How about for registrations, you have to enter a valid email address and an identification code? That usually stops bots, which we've been getting a lot of as of late.

yea-except don't make the code too hard to read. Some of them are getting WAY out of hand.

I am pretty sure that the people signing up are real people paid like $0.20 an hour to manually to register on like 5000 forums. We already have anti-bot stuff. I wish there was a counter service that these third world companies offered where you pay them $0.20 an hour to clean up your forums.

Hey, you're not supposed to call them Third World! You're supposed to call them the developing countries! Be politically correct, damn you! :shock:

since when is third world a politically incorrect term. Any country can be third world, even a very succesful country. third world has to be used in terms of an aspect of the country. Like a country has a third world economy, but "first world" health care.

Anyways, if that doesn't work, then something else should be done.

Bots? Oh man, that would suck. Imagine a 43rd level mercenary signing up for your guild, and then the first thing he says is
"FREE$$$MONEY-VIAGRA-_--PILLS$$$PENIS$$$!!!!"

Why does every single person use "penis" or "viagra" for examples?
