We have been mass-deleting spam bots. Hopefully only them.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Selaya:
Custom captchas (like 'What does .dbc stand for?' [Database Client], 'What`s the community-made modding tool?' [Noggit], et cetera) tend to work pretty well for smaller niche communities.
At the very least, that`s my experience.

Steff:
Do not work.  As the spambots are china real people.  We had thks already for some weeks.  Lead to newcommers are nkt able to register.

Alastor:
Or we can use some sort of Limiting too

- after registration you cant post anything - ( duration - 20 min. )


for example ... something similar is normal at wow server ...
"until you will be lvl 10 you cant join world chat"

schlumpf:
They register and use accounts with months of not even activating or logging in. Why do you think I was able to delete several thousand accounts with not a single post, but knowing it is a bot? Actual posts are somewhat rare:

During that time way more than 16 accounts registered.

This is more of a avoid-registration/delete-bot-accounts issue than a spam issue.

schlumpf:
Please also note that of those 16 accounts, 4 have been legit users.
