Bot Solution

**MSB** · 12-08-2006, 19:23

Hello administrators,
I posted this in another thread a week ago and was wondering if Tosa or another admin has seen it. So just in case:
Prevent Spam Posts
and to stop any bots from posting URLs:
Allow URLs in posts only after a minimum number of posts (to reduce spam)
Thanks

Other solution can be post a image with numbers when one registers.
Bots cant read the numbers.

That is already done. I had to type those numbers/letters in when I signed up.

Another one is have a simple math question that has to be answered, bots can't do it because it's an image.

Hello Rythmic,
I thought that a human signed up and then gave their account to a bot. In that case the human would, sadly, be able to answer the question.

True.

But, I thought some people used bots to create/spam accounts, then use multiple accounts to spam the forum.
