Subject: Bots are Back Surfing this Site

Written By: LyricBoy on 09/04/20 at 1:12 pm

I just made a post and it now has like 220 reads. I wonder exactly what the bots are trying to do when they keep reading-and-reading posts? ???

I guess it was partly the topic title that attracted the interest

It seems that the spammers are from Russia, and so I guess that the bots come from the same region?

What do you mean back? They never left. I can't tell you how many bogus accounts there are. I try to remove them but it is like playing whack-a-mole. For every one I get rid of, 3 new ones pop up.

Not only that, but you have previously banned members who still log in here, then post images of InThe00s posts elsewhere.  ::). At least that’s what I have been told.

I have noticed this too. What the heck is causing them to register so many accounts?! There should be some sort of captcha thingy to prevent them. "Find all images with (x item)"/"I am not a robot".

Would changing the format of our forum deter them?
