Stop the Bots

Maybe if you could not post links until you had at least 5 or 10 posts. This would probably screw bots up the arse.

Re: Stop the Bots

Screening links wouldn't help, not without a sophisticated URL catcher and that just harms the end-user because it'd be us humans that would have to put up with it.

The bad thing about deterring bots is that the only real effective ways to do so also put off new users or make the human experience more annoying, and it's ultimately pointless as bots get updated and then they have new ways to bypass whatever you've got to deter them. It's an ongoing arms race, humans versus machines. I saw the Terminator, I know how these things end. I think it's better to put up with the bots every now and then rather than have all new members screened by machine-sniffing dogs.

Just report the bots and let the staff deal with them.

careful guys, this was definitely written by a bot.
you should be very afraid.

Re: Stop the Bots

It was just a suggestion. but it has gotten to the point where bots can bypass so much. I understand your point JD. I thought it would slow them down but now that i think about, it will just spam up the forums and cause Steve more trouble.

Re: Stop the Bots

Just report them and we will ban them, some have easy to ban emails which stop all of those kind and others use the same IP's all the time so they are easily stopped too. Just a case of us catching them early, however we will never be able to stop them entirely as they get more sophisticated by the day.
