Title: Banned 10 bots
Post by: RMF on November 27, 2010, 21:23:20
Hi all,
I banned 10 bots again today, and send 3 messages to accounts which I don't trust (requesting a confirmation that they're human lol).
Because of this, the captcha is set to high (you know, the code you have to type in some box from an image), and  a couple of e-mail services aren't allowed anymore (actually hotmail and gmail are abused too a lot, but I don't want to ban them.. Might be needed in the future but hopefully not). Also I'll be notified now when someone registers on the site, but that's trivial to you.

If you got banned from the forum, you can PM me on another clan website (I'm registered on most, and probably have email notification on). Or e-mail me, my email is probably somewhere on the forum anyway.
...
Yeah, google for "site:io.smfforfree3.com lucb1e -comli" (without "") and I got my email address in the second result :P

If you have an @aol.com address, also tell me so I'll de-ban aol.com users.

Apologees for any trouble this may cause, but it might cause us a lot more trouble if the bots were active or when they would become active ;)

Wtf :P
And this ladies and gentleman, is why we ban the bots. Not because of 1 message, but cause they could spam the whole forum. I've seen it on other forums before, and it's really nasty to clean up if they got enough accounts.

edit: Ok from now on you have to confirm your email address to activate your account. This stops most bots already.
In the past 2 days or so I've seen like 6 other members joining (email notif). I didn't check them out yet, but I think it'll all be bots...
