We've got bots! POSTING bots!
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Hi no Seijin

Shika's on AIM, but he's not answering me.

Are you going to try to get him to delete the topic or something?

Looks like our security measures are obsolete. If one bot can get in, what's to stop others? After helping to get rid of over 10,000 bots, it's kind of a downer to me.

Hopefully he or another mod will be along soon. I guess what we need to do now is just keep an eye open for spam topics and get them deleted as soon as possible.

R u talking about the software stuff that's being advertised?

Twilight Wolf

Precisely.

Like I said in the topic the bot posted, its sole purpose is to advertise. It won't respond to anything.

EDIT: well, not anymore now...

Hi no Seijin

Sorry to sound like a nag, but would you type out all of your words?  Forums aren't text messages.

I usually do, but my little brother was rushing me off my computer.

geez...

Twilight Wolf

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You normally type out all your words, like you said, so occasionally using a letter to represent a word is perfectly okay.

Well, it looks as though the topic is gone. We'll have to be on the lookout for more.

Hi no Seijin

yeah, but it's not good enough for HNS, I mean, Hi no Seijin... :(

Twilight Wolf

Well, we've had five total spambot attacks in the past 24 hours. Any suggestions as to what we should do about this? My suggestion was to improve our CAPTCHA system, but if not possible, what do you guys think should be done? Should we just delete the topics as they come along?
