No!

Well, RGH 526, there's not much you can do except let us know in this topic so that a mod can delete their topic, and later on Gamefreak will delete the spambots themselves.

[Hi no Seijin]

Knew there were three numbers.

Anywho, if you have a mod's AIM screen name, you could always IM them.  I just IMed JQ, but my AIM is saying he's idle, so he might be busy with college stuff right now.

[Pale Dim]

Um, there is another spambot in announcements.

[DW]

Taken care of.

[Twilight Wolf]

The same spambot posted again in "Announcements!" I didn't know they could do that...

[DW]

Just had a spambot in Announcements advertising a video making fun of Obama. Definitetly the most unique bot I've seen.

[darkphantomime]

I find it funny that some bots don't post at all.

[Twilight Wolf]

New spambot in announcements, this time peddling porn.

Let's hope we can do something about this bot problem soon...

[DW]

That last one I just deleted posted the pictures flat out. This is getting out of hand; and I think I have an idea. Can we make every board inaccessible to members without a certain amount of posts? Say 10 or so. Yes we won't get any new members until the problem is fixed, but honestly I don't want their first impression of this site to be "WOW PORN"

[Twilight Wolf]

Sounds good to me until we can get a new CAPTCHA system implemented. It shouldn't be much of a problem, anyways, since most, if not all, of the people who post here any more, even the newer members, have at least ten posts. If we go through with this, we should be sure to make a point of letting potential new users know.

Thats a really good idea!
I support it, even though I do like getting new members.
Just put an article up on the front page saying ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: WHEN YOU MAKE AN ACCOUNT, PM GameFreak THE ADMINISTRATOR, AND HE WILL RAISE YOUR POST COUNT, or something of that nature.

[MagmarFire]

I support this plan, too. Seems to be one of the few safeguards until we get an upgrade anyway.

[Zelda Veteran]

Yeah, I just deleted a topic called "The Heart of India Movie" and it posted PICTURES. Flat out 100% uncensored pictures.

This has got to stop NOW.

[darkphantomime]

FIrst of all, we have to got to focus our energies on on getting a new CAPTCHA. it's the only way we'll be able to stop them.

Anyone have any idea on how to put in/update a new captcha system?

[Keaton]

Yes.  Everything will be FTP'd by Sunday night at the latest.  Until then, it's just a matter of defending the castle walls.
