Re: PLEASE READ !!!User registration temporarily disabled
Jack is right, however I checked this forum, and perhaps about 75% of the bots are russian, but the others are from the most diversified and different places (didn't found any chinese one).
A mandatory question seems to be a better solution indeed, but now it's up to Shade do something since he's the guy with full powers over the whole forum (even if we banned a small range of russian IPs, there's the other 25% of bots which are from elsewhere, and Shade has to woke up and do something, after all it would be quite simple for him to fix this I believe).

Re: PLEASE READ !!!User registration temporarily disabled
If I consider it just mosty intended as an announcement. I did not expect such a lively discussion. As long Shade won`t lift a finger the situation will not change for a while.

Re: PLEASE READ !!!User registration temporarily disabled
Why doesn't Shade appoint some extra administrators to handle the forum?
If something happens (like this) we're al dependable on 1 administrator (who isn't around all the time) and in worse cases everything could just collapse/disappear, because it's hanging on a thin line of 1 admin.

Re: PLEASE READ !!!User registration temporarily disabled
First of all, I'm not the only admin here. I'm just the only person who has access to the serverfiles.
@Ferali: About reCaptcha... it's shit. Spambots are good enough to break it.
I changed the Captcha Settings and ENABLED the registration again!
My words: Inspect and adapt! It's the best way to handle such situations. Better than overreacting.
@Team: Further discussion will go on in internal rubric.

Because they have the moderator group as their standard group. But as you maybe know, you can be in multiple groups.Metalfist wrote:Idk how the permissions here are, but only an administrator can acces the ACP in standard values so... and I only see you in the administrator list and the rest are moderators

Sure, bots are not cool anymore.Qwerty wrote:Nothing works Questions etc just nothing works.. I think real ppl are actually registering then the bot auto posts
I've recently read some article (in my language, sry) about the captcha bypass. The article was focused on unblockable way of spamming - on the people. I've read, that you can (on this site for example) just hire a few hundreds of poorly paid people from India and they will read the captchas for you. That costs just about 2 USD for a thousand of captchas!
There is no way to avoid the spam.
