And with we I mean JCL. Seriously, this is getting out of hand and of the two million and one mods we only have one active one left (Rayp) and he can't be out cleaning this mess up 24/7.

Better flood protection? Captcha? I mean, yes, I realize that captchas can be broken via OCR, but seriously, not every bot uses OCR. Even if it gets rid of 20% of the bot volume, it would already be a step in the right direction.

PS: Fuck the mods life who has to clean this mess up

Oh boy what's going on in here... O:

I don't know if that's possible but maybe restrict new user accounts to "read only" and allow them to post only after 1-2 days?

Yes, this is really annoying.

Btw: I'm more active in the forums currently, I could get moderator status again and help to clean up the forums.

All of the current Bots are blocked now and the Posts have been deleted or moved, please feel free to post links to other affected threads into this one - thanks.

Thanks, old_bill!

Captchas are obviously useless against spam. When you detect a spam message, please just click "Notify". No need to remove the messages manually. We can delete all messages by a spammer automatically.

Wow thanks, Sid ^^
Iam doing my best around the clock. But coniserver is now blocked from my working pc. A bad thing for me. And the last days i was involved in my (fucking atm) life, so no time to kill spam.

U dont know how much bots i ban, BEFORE they post (checking register settings). Its simply a flood
