Bots.

Postby Plithut » Fri Oct 27, 2006 6:18 am

So I am curious to know if we can enable a randomly generated image everytime we log in so it can keep 90% of bots off of the boards? I have seen it on other boards that I am a member to, and it isnt a hastle for the users. It is just a suggestion, I am curious to see if we could do this.

It's not when you log in, but it is there when you register an account. I'm currently trying different things to handle the bot problem.

We can. This requires me to not be busy at work and get my garage cleaned first. It isn't full-proof as it doesn't prevent them registering. And if they can register then they've already cracked the image check and they can still spam.

I think it would work great for this site. Most forums I've been on with the image key protection were bot free as far as I could tell.

Hey winfang what should we meaning us lonely board members do when we spot a bot?
