Wolf Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just reported several spam-users to the moderation team. It seems spammers are getting past the image verification on this board; perhaps enable Q&A security? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it, it works good. But my advantage is that Q&A is in my native language, bots don't understand what I asking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need the 'spamless' mod ;) Most likely it's a person completing the registration to bypass security measures, then the bot taking over from there.

They use the tracker, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use the tracker, for example. Ah, but you see Tracker was written by IPS to start with. In fact, that's kind of how the Community Projects were born... IPS wrote the Tracker - and people from the community wanted to use it - so it was just sort of handed over to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 SHHH!! Don't ruin my idea.. :P Still though, if the spamless mod we came up with (and that he and others are developing) was to end up being used, it would totally rock. Especially if the mod is as effective as it's planned to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted July 17, 2009 Management Share Posted July 17, 2009 We have stuff in the pipeline for spammers. Watch this space. Well, figuratively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
