New Solutions for that Botproblem:

1. Ban all accounts, which have their last activity at the same day as the registration, IF the account is older than 1 month.
2. Instaban every account, which is adding personal Userinformation or Posts, at a speed, which is impossible for a Human.
3. Everyone, who tries to add a Link to his account (Signature/personal Website/personal Informations...), right after the Registration (so a 5min-Intervall after Registration to proof thats not a Bot), gets Reported instantly, and has to wait with posting, until an Admin approves it as Human, or bans it.

I have dealt with Spam on multiple Forums before, i got an idea, which might work here aswell.

First thing: A random question about minecraft to be answered, that also ensures, that no 6 year olds happen to enter here without their parents knowning.
Second thing: Captacha, why? Well it cant hurt.
Third thing: Math, but not some generated stuff, just another random question, meaning text based math aka "Add three apples to a bowl with four apples, how much apples are there?" kinda like
Fourth thing: Get the Mods together and ask who has time to check for new spam at which time and try to cover most of the time, some people live in europe, some in america and some in china, all different timezones.
Fifth thing: This a lil advanced and i dont know how to exactly to do that with this forum software, but there is a way to ban certain domains aka if theres an acocunt created by a user from the peer address spambot.spambotcentral.com then banning that domain helps alot. Theres lists on the web of peer addresses that are spammers.
Sixth thing: Stay calm, spam is like cockroaches, will survive us most definitely and we just have to arrange a way to live with it, a bit of spam gets through, but the above helped on the forums i used to Moderate on.

One last thing: There is worse things in life than Spam and they happen to be more important to take care of

Good, that i am on my Spaceship, and not in the GregTower. And even then, i'm immune to electric shocks of that kind.

You beat me by a couple of mins, just got on and saw those. Maybe I can convince the big guys to give me more permissions

passinglurker · July 5, 2012 at 4:32 AM

i propose that that the "general discussion" sub-forum be renamed the "no spambots allowed" sub-forum because the spambots like it so much the hope is the name change will throw some of them off
