Bot Country

[Jason Tandro]

What the hell is with all these bots? That's seven in the past month?

I know right? Let's go kick their ass!

And by "we" I mean Raini.

And by "kick their ass" I mean captcha.

I've only seen one? And I don't think I can implement captcha into the forums, but I'll see what I can do. I've never programmed phpBB before. ;

@Raini/Chicken: Check out the Trash Can. Tay and Myself have been all over them. Always in the Site Questions section (because it's the only forum you can get into without logging on.)

where is this trash can?

i think you removed it and only mods/admins can see it now

Used to be the Graveyard. I asked Boxxle to make it invisible for obvious reasons. Now its the Trash Can.

Instead of sending them there, delete them. Less clutter is a good thing.

i dont see why we need an invisible graveyard. at least restrict it so residents can see it, lol. it's always a good read when bored

I agree. Delete bot posts, have the graveyard for amusing trolls or stuff like that.

Who let the bots in the forums? I suggest it's time to step up the security system against them.

[inferiare]

My main concern was the fact that they seem to be doing links, even with the 10 post thing implemented. I PM'd eFlare with it, so I'm guessing code exploit.

Anyway, I'm going to see what else I can do about this.

there's something surreal about testing stuff while listening to pirate rap...

Raini editing her own posts? it's more likely than you think!

Figured it out. That command at the end, "?tab=4" is what does it. Interesting.

I thought this was a bot for a second; it would of been hilarious if it was
