Suggestion for Bots

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!

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?
