Where is Biggie Smiles anyway? Fash should give you mod privs in Politics to help keep the bots out.

For the record I don't mind anything I poast to a spam thread going bye-bye along with the spam.



It was just a bit of snark anyway; no great loss.




Same here.

I have been guilty of posting in spambot threads too.

To delete a Vitty post is to anger the gods.   https://i.imgur.com/FZIvmA4.gif">  Do it at your peril.

I'd really rather not do that either, but vitty understands about bots and gave his blessing.

Angering the gods now and then is why we're here.

The multiverse knows a bunch of semi-sentient shaved apes aren't good for anything else.

Quote from: Fashionistavitty, did you find that the bots came in waves when you were an admin?


I didn't have Guest posting but new Users had to be approved by the Admin (me) and that's where I saw the registration attempts.



It's been a while so details are a bit fuzzy but as I recall the bots were a fairly consistent headache.

Some days there were more than others but I don't remember there being any sort of general pattern to the number of registrations per day.



Contemporary bots might follow a completely different pattern or patterns of activity though.

I'm sure their code has evolved over time.

We used to have a big problem with bot registrations, but it doesn't happen very often anymore.

The Politics section gets the most of them.

It's the closest one to the top that has guest posting.
