Err, Happy Birthday :)
January 3, 2013 at 7:08 pm #44543MiDKnighTModeratorLYS, is there anything else we can do? I think I've IP blocked most of China by now (95% of the spam bots come from China) yet we're still getting spam bots nearly every day.
January 3, 2013 at 8:11 pm #44544sonic.penguinModeratorIts ironic, since all of our mods are based on China :P
January 4, 2013 at 12:17 am #44545DragonAtmaModeratorClearly, Dong Zhuo is the sinister botmaster…
January 9, 2013 at 6:24 pm #44546MiDKnighTModeratorHaven't seen LYS in a while. Hope he comes back soon. He must be sharing powder with Huo Hu again.
January 9, 2013 at 11:36 pm #44547sonic.penguinModeratorAren't they always hitting the powder? Granted, new years might have seen a little more action than usual..
May 24, 2013 at 12:58 pm #44548MiDKnighTModeratorHelp! Is there any hope of a better CAPTCHA? I've had to clean up about 10 spam threads this morning… We're getting hit hard with the spam bots. Also had to block 3 more Chinese IP ranges. Our CAPTCHA seems to be completely ineffective against these spam bots.
May 24, 2013 at 1:07 pm #44549DragonAtmaModeratorSo I noticed; I marked most of them.
LYS, you NEED to do something– they're more annoying than getting swarmed by 140-soldier rebels when you're about to win the game. :(

Defending against spam bots is reminding me of playing "Defend Your Castle". They just keep coming no matter what I do…
May 27, 2013 at 9:50 pm #44551Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterSorry to hear that guys.
If it makes you feel any better, I get upwards of 200 emails daily from the forum's default email saying "a user who spammed has been blocked". And I delete them :)
But yea, I'll look into this, I promise. I think one of the issues was that the forum + main site have the same users. So I'd have to make sure the forum AND the wordpress sign-up had a decent enough CAPTCHA, since they could sign up at either place. Or at least better than what we got…

Also if you require signups to be accepted by you and manually accept everyone except obvious spambots (b2s43i4f6s and such) it'd stop 90% of the spambots right away.
