    Bots

    Can anything be done about the rampant botspam? Thanks.
    If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

    Probably not. I don't know if they're doing Captchas or whatever now, but if that doesn't work there's nothing for it but to cull the nonsense as soon as it's spotted. And they do a decent job here. The other day that dingus with his "dumps" took a dump on three-quarters of the boards here. All were gone within an hour.

    Besides, sometimes they're rather amusing.

    humans are used in the process by some of these spam companies, so no.

    It´s a little bit extreme at the moment again...
    several bots (or humans) infesting several subforums,
    especially Other games and Civ V
    As part of your equipment, you are to have a trowel, and when you squat outside, you are to scrape a hole with it and then turn and cover your excrement.

    I also resent being called a spambot
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

    My greatest wish is to be half the poster MikeH is.
