Some spambot has had a field day tonight posting about uncensored Britany Spears videos.

indeed - ironically in one of the older threads about new mods to handle the spam

It's everywhere this morning.

Its a friggin pain in the ass, everytime i think there might be some new news in a thread its the bastard spam, it really is gettin out of control

There's another one now.

There's a couple more now. They're just filing up every thread with shit.

Does this forum have any moderators?

Deleted. I was out of line. My appologies.

Cheers,
Greg

This is the 5th time I've cleaned this forum in 48 hours

Today I was out drinking and merry making with friends, onto it now

It would be worth deleteing the 20 or so spambots that have signed up in the last couple of days. Pretty easy to pick.

I think NTR & Oliver need help - I was the only active mod on a car forum for a few months & it drove me nuts! Sharing the load so it isn't like a damn job would have to be better, well in my opinion anyway.

I would happily delete these F%$kers if they want some help, im on here most days so keep it in mind Oliver

Agreed. I'm a moderator (currently administrator) on http://www.fordlaser.com ... while we don't have a big spam problem, we do have a lot of active members (over 6000 registered, i'd guess thousands active), and a lot of maintaining to do. it would suck to be the only moderator on there!

all the best with it, and Merry Christmas to all

since my previous post, there's already 6 new spam threads/posts

Excellent contribution.

I'd love to see some of the "graphics-based key in a character sequence" authentication stuff applied here.

not sure what you mean there, but registration already requires recognition of some letters and numbers in a graphic, designed that a bot will have trouble reading them.. i get the impression that a lot of the spam bots are signed up by a person before they're unleashed.

He was replying to a spambot post which I have since deleted

Such as thing already operates when registering. Unfortunately, there are ways around it (such as a human registering, for instance). Activating this feature slowed the spam registrations, but unfortunately has not stopped them.

Then, what about shaved-headed ex-marines carrying armour-piercing, depleted-uranium Metal Storm weapons guarding the entrance?

Oops... Again, wrong forum.
