Nope, we just have to ban as they join. I will leave this thread open and active so people know that this bot got banned (on top of many others) that are trying to spam the site, and for people to know not to click on this nonsense if it doesn't get removed before members see it, and potentially click on it.The same site has been posted by different names. I made the mistake of clicking on one a while back and my Norton antivirus about had a stroke.
Is this site able to make bots to spread it's shit, or are these actual people? Is there some way this site can be blocked from doing this?
what does it look like on your end when these bots join? is it a bunch of gibberish in the form?Nope, we just have to ban as they join.

We can't block actual websites, but we can continue to ban the accounts joining to post them. If I miss any that someone else sees, please message me so I can handle it. Thanks.
I can't tell one way or the other. If they can get past the Captcha and email verification, they can join. I have very stringent verification registration in place. The only thing I can do further would be 2 step authentication. But, 2SA would cause some major heartburn the next time normal member log in, so I haven't gone that far yet.what does it look like on your end when these bots join? is it a bunch of gibberish in the form?
Just close new registration until after the election.I can't tell one way or the other. If they can get past the Captcha and email verification, they can join.

doneI have setup a different type Captcha. Would someone be willing to try and register an account with a burner email account to see what it looks like when they try to register? It would be greatly appreciated.
I deleted the account you created and changed one setting. Can you try again and see if you get a Captcha?done
Sweet!. Thank you for helping me test this. I hope this will help with these spammers. Big props.
Did it let you complete registration?
Good deal. Thanks again, man.
