Spambot Concerns

Killmore · 10-31-2009, 11:54 AM

I've noticed that we seem to be getting a lot of spambots lately.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

I've changed the captcha to a question based one. Now they have to be able to do maths or read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yay. Not really fond of the spambots. Thanks!

I think they might be exploiting a vulnerability in vBulletin. If so, there's not much I can do to stop them.
