Spambot sign-ups

**Johnny's Amusements** · 19th September 2011, 10:56 PM

In my view these are all spambots & should all be banned before they get the chance to spam up.

More to follow as I spot them signing up. We MUST do something about this. It is turning our forum into a spamdump.

I reckon anyone with an incomprehensible name should be deleted before they spam, 99 out of a 100 will be spammers, and if you do delete a genuine member they can just try and join again.

I could not agree more. I wonder if such a feature could be incorporated into the forum software that could AUTOMATICALLY ban suspected spambots before they spam up?

Here is another guaranteed spambot. mpnqyzbfda. Please tell me I am wrong!

I am also watching another human possible spammer at the moment. No names yet but we will wait & see.

And what about these?

Bin 'em before they start, guaranteed to be spammers with names like that.

If I did have the powers to do so they would all be gone by now! The problem is I can only ban a user once they have posted spam. It would need to be Admin who does this & I believe he hardly ever visits the forum due to other commitments. Oh, & your estimate is slightly out. 100% of the above will be spamming twats!

ALL spammers whether they be bots or humans will be banned & deleted. What i am saying is that these names are so much guaranteed to be spambots they should be deleted before they are allowed to spam. And make no mistake about it, spam they will!
