Spam bots

[Technicuddle]

Is it just me or are we getting more spam bots than usual?

I don't know if it's the Mods just slacking or they've found a way to get past the "Are you a spam bot" question, or it could just be me imagining things.

Yeah, I was noticing that as well. I'm not sure if they are even registering to be honest; I'll see a spambot post for the first time at a given time/date, yet I don't see them in the new members area. Maybe we need to implement CAPTCHA or a better validation system.

Agreed.

I don't think it would cause any problems to add CAPTCHA. And i'm sure it would cut down on the number of spam bots. I don't see why they didn't add it in the first place just to be extra safe.

But doesn't everyone need to register to post anything?

CAPTCHA doesn't stop them
