Spambot prevention

[ssakash]

Spotted two before I left the house this morning.

but, lets hope this reduces the no.of bots which appear in the forum, but disabling the ip range wasnt good since some members couldnt post in this forum though.......

Bosit unbanned that IP range because the botters just switched IP's

[Bositman]

No I didn't actually...

[Nobbs66]

Oh, then yeah, I guess they are posting from a different IP.

I don't know if it's because I'm looking at the forum at a different time than I used to, but I think I've seen bots more often now than before this announcement.

[Nobbs66]

They only really get active when everyone else is offline.

and wonder, why spy bots always speak about health and looks like the spybot problem is way more increased than before...

spy bots?
They are normally ad bots... They want to sell you something.
Health problems are normally very expensive and people want to save some money. If you can get the medicine you need for a fraction of the original price you would probably as well be interested. And online shops provide more superficial privacy... if you have some delicate problems...

"delicate problems"

Like you need Indian black magic to fix your love problems. Remember those bots?

[Nobbs66]

Don't mention them ever again. Those things were a nightmare.
