    These bots are beginning to appear more often... If it begins to become a problem we may need a harder security against them...

    I think they're just catching us at that weird time of night when none of the mods are around. I know I had to clean up a few last night, and another this morning, but if I check the mod logs it's been a fairly constant stream.

    yhea guess so but what if you could give a select few normal members the power to "hide" a post or thread until a mod deals with itso people don't click on the thread and get re directed to a russian prostitute service :/

    When I am on I am constantly banning spam bots and deleting spam threads. When we move to the new site it will have improved security making it harder for them to sign up every second.

    Don't tell anyone, but anyone who looks into random threads such as these can now know I've donated the money... Shh, no telling! (mods, if anyone says I have outside this thread, take it down!)
