Just wondering, do you guys have any spambot filters in place? Not really a concern at the moment, but just something for consideration if the forum gets more popular.

spambots are computergenerated forumaccounts. They make many threads with spam (like pages full of links).

They can, but's a lot of work. It's almost like a full-time job xD .

I'll look into maybe getting capchas for the log in screens.

Indeed^ There probably are a few good scripts already. Don't know if they're free. Too bad I'm not a hero in php  |

I'd support captchas in log in, but please don't make captchas for posting, no matter how effective they are in spambot defense. It just makes things that much more annoying. |
