really so many spammers as of late
Well it's not really an increase of bots but rather the lack of action taken against them. Back in the day, the moment a bot thread went up, it was instantly dealt with. Now they can stay up as long as a few days. Seems someone is slacking off.
False. There IS an increase of bots.
We, mods, delete them as soon we see them or get notified about them. In some forums with lesser activity it might be indeed the case they stay up for a tad longer but as I said, when we see them or get notified about them they get thrashed.
Yea any help with reporting these threads helps us get them taken off the site faster. Hopefully Bowen can find a more permanent solution soon though as we are getting seriously targeted by shady SEO spammers.
what about. when some one makes a account it must first be approved by admins of forums. maybe that will help?
