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. Very Happy;

@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.)

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 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.

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.
