With all the bots we are seeing now I wonder if there is a fix?

I know less than nothing about hosting a web site but I have seen a couple other forums that don't have to deal with them because they have a couple filters. I think you have to respond to X number of threads before you can post. I think you have to obtain X number of "likes" before you can post.

My imagination?

Possible?

ShutthefuckupJeff?
 
I actually think there are far fewer than there were a month or three ago. I'm not a computer guy, but I imagine it's almost impossible to stop 100% of them. A lot of posts being made recently are log ins from bots that already have accounts from that time a year or two ago when we were just being bombarded by them. Perhaps a minimum post count before the forum allows any links to be posted, or something?
 
I was an admin on a very big computer geek forum for over a decade. Spam is horrible, the bots are out there and hit everyone pretty equally. You can IP ban an account, only to have them use a VPN or a proxy and they're back in business. Best model is to have admins that are on the forum, and they can delete the posts / ban the account and life goes on. The bots figure out who is getting them clicks and who isn't; with diligence you can minimize it pretty well. I've offered to help with this.......
 
I don't know about you, but I for one am greatly interested in learning more about [Legit Dumps-Paypal-Cashapp Transfer] Cardumps Cvv | Dumps + Pin | Cloned Card Emv Chip



(Yes, I did make sure to just paste that as plain text)

I wouldn't click on a link that said "Legit Dumps" regardless of where it came from.

Maybe they are gauging interest?
