Title: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: SirEmi on June 29, 2011, 12:09:52 PM - Updated forum to the latest version for current skin. - Added a new anti-spam feature that uses flash to assemble puzzle images, this will stop 99% of the bots from registering / posting. God speed! Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: Comatose on June 29, 2011, 12:12:46 PM A simple captcha word box would have sufficed. I just pm'd a member of the forums, and it made me put a picture of a paint pallet together. Not as fun as you think.
But overall, thanks Emi! Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: SirEmi on June 29, 2011, 12:14:42 PM We had the CAPTCHA word on highest setting, and the bots know how to assemble it still, they got a lot smarter. But this new method will stop almost all the bots.
You're just doing a little puzzle at the registration page, nothing wrong with that. Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: Saturn 7 on June 29, 2011, 02:05:29 PM It probably took Truth a few hours to solve that puzzle: :P
Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: Comatose on June 29, 2011, 02:10:50 PM Hey, hey now. It took me like 5 minutes. I was pm'ing FTP, so I was already braindead. :P
Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: FTP on June 29, 2011, 02:19:41 PM That you have to some puzzle when you register... fine.
But seriously can we remove it when sending a PM? I'll message you back when its removed... I ain't gonna construct a kitty picture Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: SirEmi on June 29, 2011, 10:17:06 PM Weird, the setting is set so only if post count is below 5 that you have to enter a code when sending PMs...
Must be a bug in the forum code, I'll check it out, thank you. Title: Re: Forum update and new anti-bot spam feature Post by: Comatose on June 30, 2011, 01:30:04 PM Name: justmaam

Maybe 1 in 100 can do it (maybe with human assistance), but we just ban those and this will reduce spam drastically. Now just have to fix the PM bug. It's shouldn't show the code in there if you got more then 5 posts...
