Re: 900th member
So, since Els joined us there's been 52 more new members. But I haven't seen that influx in the Introductions and Welcome thread, or felt it on the boards.
Is there a crazy number of spammers this summer? Is this typical?

Re: 900th member
Is there anyway to prevent spam accounts or are they being created by real people rather than bots? Can't we have some captcha system to help prevent "bots" from making accounts?

Re: 900th member
Greg has a crapton of prevention measures. The best being the two-post moderation. I'm sure it's bots and real people, and they find their way around everything
The two-post moderating is good, and usually it's not that bad, but the last month or two it's been pretty crazy.

The most important thing is that the forum users don't have to sift through a ton of spam messages to read their games or games they follow. That means we administrators are doing our jobs correctly.

Re: 900th member
I notice we have 1650+ members now and unusually, a new member every day this week but a quick check of profiles show links to NSFW sites. Are these members just bot spammers?
I like to welcome every new member and appreciate the forum for the community and games, but some applicants do seem a time-waste at the very least.

Re: 900th member
Yeah we ban those folks when they post. Sometimes we catch them beforehand, but when those folks try to post the links we delete the post and ban them. We hates them!

Re: 900th member
And there has been a significant increase in frequency of them the last week or two -- a handful a day (or so it feels).
We've been busy.
Re: 900th member
Thanks for all your efforts to keep the site a great place to game. I know we don't say thanks often enough but it is greatly appreciated!

Re: 900th member
Agreed but I thank not just the admins and ToniXX but those that donate to keep things running. Without the money this place would probably not be here.

Re: 900th member
Just got another one. Interesting between the "real" folks and the AI/Bots. This was one of those "steal bits of other posts to make my post seem legit" bot types. So much fun.
