Re: [glob2-devel] Forum bots

No, that does not mean people's accounts have been stolen if there is spam. It means they are spam bots who automatically register.

Some captchas do alright against spam bots, but some don't really.

Whoever is managing the forum may want to check out recaptcha, which is a good collaborative captcha thing. :)

Aye, it requires registration, I don't remember if it required the standard "type the characters you se in the image above" thing upon registration.

* If it does that usually means peoples logins have been stolen or something like that. Best solution for that is kicking the people that have been spamming.

* If not, it should added and also kicking of the spammers.

I don't know who runs the forums but I hope such a feature should not be to hard to add.
