Re: we have spambots
Well at least they were kind enough to post in what's currently a mostly-irrelevant section.
I wouldn't say it's a huge 'problem' in need of a 'robust solution'. It' s little scattered spamming every year or so. Hardly anything to get wound up about. If anything it just proves that we're apparently still relevent enough to warrant spamming.

Re: we have spambots
Dom and JT once explained to me why it's bad for the site to just get one spammer, but I forgot. =/
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did
Re: we have spambots
They are like roaches. One draws others and so forth.
(I will let JT restate the technical part of that.)
When I said "we" I meant "civilized people in general", though I see what you are saying.

Re: we have spambots
What, you mean Anonymous?
People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.BWprowl wrote:The internet having this many different words to describe nerdy folks is akin to the whole eskimos/ice situation, I would presume.
Re: we have spambots
What the heck do spambots have to do with Anonymous?

Banned the spammer and deleted the threads.

Re: we have spambots
Huh.
I'm gonna assume this "Anonymous" is some sort of official, organised hacking group distinct from the generic, postmodern "Anonymous" used to ironically refer to the mass of unnamed internet users who may or may not partake in various semi-legal activities while wearing Guy Fawkes masks.
How times change! Man I feel old!
