There's a spambot over in General Discussion from Nokia trying to sell their new phones. As if product placement in Transformers wasn't enough for them.

You should block the word now, MewB. It's becoming too violent.

...Um, which word do you mean? ^^; I don't see anything wrong with either of those names.

Incidentally, I'm not entirely sure that second one is a spambot. *sweatdrops*


Anyway, in regards to the questions about blocking spambots before they can post, other then the programming that Wartonchan is helping us with, the only other option would be to set new member admissions to Admin instead of via e-mail activation. That way, only an Admin would be able to activate an account and allow someone to post (I believe that's how it works anyway ^^; )

However, given the sheer number of members that are actually people and not spambots, this would probably cause more problems then it would help solve, not to mention clog up the number of new applicants and possibly discourage people from joining. O.o;

Kamekai...I appreciate your enthusiasm but you really don't need to PM the Admins and Mods about spambots unless it's an absolute emergency (ie. the spambot has made a thread with gratuitous pictures in it or something, etc. ).

Posting a link to the spambot's profile and/or thread is enough. The Admins and Mods check this thread regularly anyway, so there's not a whole lot of need to PM us unless it is a particularly nasty or violent spambot. ^^

Thanks muchly everyone! :)

these things are becoming more and more frequent. Why not these 3 questions?

just a yes or no question

ANSWER TRUTHFULLY!

Are you human?

Are you a spambot?

Do you like Code Lyoko?


That way, way less chance of spambots getting through.

That's how they roll over at Tech Links. They ask if you're human.
