Spambots

<< < (4/5) > >>

Vigo:
I know a few forums that will not allow new members to post until they post something in an "introduce yourself" thread. I assume this is a spambot breaking measure.

lilshawn:
maybe for the first 30 posts you have to answer arcade related questions  :lol

BAMBOO:
Dirk_Da_Daring is my alt.  Why an alt?  Cause I lost my original account from 2006 and want to make sure it wont happen again.

Don't boot Dirk_Da_Daring.

Malenko:
kill any new account that is made and doesn't have X number of posts by Y number of days.

It isn't as easy as that.  I would dump the user database into excel and run a query, and manually clean it from there.  There must be a probation time for new posts, but it all depends on the admin resources.  After all these years I'm sure there are thousands of dormant accounts.
