Bot catcher

[Nuclear Raunch]

Now that the "bug" thread is locked our little bot friend may or may not try the next newest thread. For that reason I'm making this thread so it will be at the top of the list, so if it posts we can simply move the entire thread to the staff forum and check his behavior after that. In all likelyhood it will once again pick the next newest thread, but hey why not check him out all the way, right?

Indeed. Still no pattern with IPs. Just the same text.

*Idea* Make the "Type in these letters to sign up" on the signup page.

[Freenhult]

Doesn't work. We used that.

Freen: It's probably a bot net where a bunch of people unknowingly had their computers infected and they are now all sending spam from all these random computers across the globe.

Yoman: They arn't registered.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this but I think our little friend came to visit right after the words "maps tob" (spelled backwards) were posted. I'll let this thing ride for a while to see if it posts and if not I may just test that theory.

Hmm, good observation, Nuke. Thanks.

[Nuclear Raunch]

After a cursory double check my memory apparantly failed me. Coulda swore I saw that earlier...

If my original theory is true then a simple word censor should do rather nicely.

Looks like the locking thread tactic worked, now just to open Pandora's Box (man can you imagine if a girl had the name Pandora?) I'm gonna see if they come at our beck and call.
