I have now added a user profile field called "are you a bot". If you say yes, you can't go on.. Hope this helps

And suddenly the day that everyone fears comes. . .
THE BOTS LEARN TO READ!!!
/insanity off
I really hope this reduces the number of bots since I have even seen bots posting in bot created threads. . .

well.. this time it is improved.. last time we had user validation turned on, so we have to approve every single registering user. This time it returns "You are a bot huh?" And you can't go on..

Thanks for reviving your Anti-Bot feature and improving it. It seems that you have been able to successfully test the new system; we users will be glad to experience fewer distractions due to the annoyance of bot postings.

A bot account can be used by a normal person as well.

Yes i was also thinking .. does this have any use? a human can sign in a bot and use it later for spam .. just geussing that could be .. can a bot sign up himself automaticly? i didnt knew that

Yes, but humans don't have any part of this. The only humna interaction on the bot end is the dude creating the bot programs. The bot is then sent out to troll the internet for vB sites, it resgisters by itself. The bots are only capable of registering through the default registration process so unless (extremely unlikely) a bot is tailor-made for our registration process, no bot can get in because they aren't made to deal with our security question. Excellent job Ralle
