  • Banning bots

    Maybe we should just auto ban anyone who puts Oakley sunglasses in there sig. Too many bots have shown up spamming it like crazy.

        There should be a way for users to report bots, spam, and flaming easily. I could not find a way to report members within the forum system. It would be an efficient addition to the forum.

          Have you tried the "report post" button? It can be used to report posts

          We do ban the bots as we see them though.

              This is appreciated and we do take action on these reports. Currently there are steps being taken to reduce the spam, it is a busy time of year for it though.

                It took me awhile to figure out that it was the little shield in the bottom left of the post. Pardon my ignorance

                  This place is getting overrun with bots.

                  Since Dave doesn't like the "report" button, I'll let you guys do the hunting.

                    I don't know much about vbulletin but surely somebody has come up with a solution to this sort of thing?

                    I'm not meaning to knock on the admins but I've rarely seen a site hit as hard with spam bots as this one has been lately, it just sucks really.

                    Best way to stop this shit is to get bots to stop from signing up, right? Its been a while since i made my account so i don't exactly remember but if the only layer is a captacha then that may explain why so many bots are getting through, its not very difficult to solve it with just software nowadays. Might want to add another layer or something.

                    I dunno i'm just nerding out and speaking from a bit of black hat experince...
