A Nonny Moose Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Apparently there is this adbot named wangding who is terrorizing the forum with spam. He is a new member with three posts, all of them World of Warcraft powerlevelling services (which is illegal under WoW, but I digress). We need some way to police the new users to make sure they are not adbots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbic Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The damn bots are getting too good at reading the captcha images which are supposed to stop them. I've had a few on a different forum I run. There are better captchas, but the problem is that there's a point where they get too complicated for humans to read. And then your legitimate potential members get scared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 wangding recently posted a thread in the Web Design forum to check out his WoW powerlevelling site and give suggestions on its design. I actually did give some suggestions but I didn't know he was a spammer back then. Apparently all his posts and topics have been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
