Well...

While it's great that you stopped the bot problem, you now have a bunch of members gained unfairly. You should prune your members (like get rid of all the ones with under 5 posts). I know you'll probably close this without a consideration, but I do have a good point.

Why ban members for no reason..?

We'll pass... I will try to delete as much as possible (the ones that the validation doesn't delete), but I don't want to delete that many members because of bots... TNZ is really the only forum I know that did that.

It would take a bit of work to delete all of them and does it really matter?

what does it affect?

it isn't like it is hits or something, it is a bunch of 1 post members that don't mean squat

Maybe we didn't get hit as hard then, because I can only remember about twenty.

Actually, that's because we do such a good job. :r


But really... blame IF for this and for not doing much about it. They have time to get rid of Top 10 Posters but not to make a quick change to the registering stuff?

Why? Why do you freaking care so much about how many members we have?

Well actually it could be done with one little button, but that's besides the point. =o

Because it's so much easier to rip stuff out than put stuff in. : D

Calm down. :gyroidshifty:

wouldn't one of those image things where you enter the letters you see in it stop most bots if not all of them?

DSFAN, I know the staff here would never intentionally allow fake advertising bots to stay here.

But right now there are two huge projects being worked on along with the site so it really isn't top priority right now.

Calm down. <_<

I just like to add words like freaking. It doesn't mean I'm ticked off or anything, if I'm mad, you'll be able to tell.

They actually have one of those, but:
1) It's only up in certain conditions
2) The numbers can probably easily be determined by a bot (they are not hard to read and they are all the same)

But right now there are two huge projects being worked on along with the site so it really isn't top priority right now.

Who says? o.0
