I've just deleted rought 30 posts in the past hour from the same bunch in China all with 4 or 5 posts each.
We're shouldn't but I'm starting to selective block some IP address from China.

Thank goodness; some of the bots didn't even show up in the 'active users' list and re-registered as soon as a I banned one.Pal wrote:Sorry for the trouble, I inserted some javascript on the registration form and thought it was enough to stop the auto registration by bot.
I was wrong and end up deleting more than 700+ bot accounts.
The previous "Registration Failed" script was re-enabled.

But surely bots or not, they will still appear as online. I find it peculiar that I've only seen one spambot on the active users list!Pal wrote:These are automated scripts programmed to register in forum, activates the account, then starts spamming.nakatago wrote:Thank goodness; some of the bots didn't even show up in the 'active users' list and re-registered as soon as a I banned one.Pal wrote:Sorry for the trouble, I inserted some javascript on the registration form and thought it was enough to stop the auto registration by bot.

I've just deleted a brace of them again. Same format but instead of using England as their current location, they are using Germany but the IP still are from China and the structure is the same.
