Oddlabs Forum

Omg this spam bot who has posted lik 8 billion things is kinda getting on my nerves i hav noticed that sune has delted someof his posts however that little fucker keeps coming back. Is there a way to ban someone from tt forums?

There certainly is a way, in fact, Sune not only bans the person, he completely deletes their account as well. It's just Sune isn't on all too often to delete these daily spam messages.

make the account application and each post require you to type those weird word that bots cant read

I think implementing captchas (that's what they're called I believe) would be a good idea for at least account making, but maybe not for every post. It would get very annoying, and we would only really need it for a last resort (the account making captcha would hold off spambots for at least a while). Another solution would be for Sune to add Mods of some sort.

And on a side note, how ironic a spambot posted in this thread.

ikr that one spam bots has like 150 posts thats crazy i hav lik 250 and i hav had this account for lik 5 months but then again they r spambots

Pretty sure the forum has a Captcha on the account registration page, but somehow the bots are getting around it. I wouldn't mind a Captcha being implemented for every post. Sure it'll be slightly inconvenient but it's a small price to pay for not having to wade thru all the spam to find a post from a legitimate forum user

well u kinda have to do that now cuz 90% of the posts on the fron tpage r from spambots
