I love w-inds. Posts: 3,510 Group: Elite Member Member #288 Joined: August 7, 2005	I'm not an expert on this crap, but I'm guessing SPAM bots just go anywhere; It doesn't matter if a forum is active or not. And some forums manage faster than others and have tools that block things with ease.

If it can advertise, they'll go there. xyunaxfantasies Mar 10 2007, 03:00 PM The staff at IF have said that Zeta Board should be Spam bot free since it's custom made. We'll just have to deal with it for now. I don't understand that. i mean they said the same thing when they first bought invisionfree out. But look at this IF board now. And it won't take long for some f***** to make a spam bot that can get into the system. But you don't know till you've tried.

One that Can't be bypassed, and is incredibly hard for an OCR program to work out, but still makes registration easy for human users? Perhaps a small animated GIF, in an unconvential font that makes it hard for bots to bypass?

Brilliant idea. Maybe it could ask them to type a sentence agreeing to the terms and conditions as well. Could be a double-barreled winner for us if you can get it working.

WOrks the same for swear filter of urls, site names, etc. - For all new members, they would be required to PM the admin to be able to get posting permission. (tutorial here). - Change the image verification to something that only the human eye can detect.

BTW ty on the acceptance (Woot!)
