There is a CAPTCHA attached to the registration process. We'll need to come up with a better scheme to manage the forum. They keep coming back, and we keep cleaning it.
Why not assign this work to some forum members? Maybe a "Mark as Spam" button can be added and some one of u guys can verify the thread and delete if required. And Please remove those members who post such shit.
Very impressive that their bot can decode a current-gen captcha. Didn't even knew it was possible. Maybe you should try those select-pictures ones:
Yeah, there are also websites which show CAPTCHA from elsewhere, to users of the website, to get them to solve CAPTACA for their bots. So the hapless user enters a CAPTCHA to be able to view a viral video, and the owner uses it to register a spam bot.
@v998 , ''There is some companies paying humans to identify the captcha.'' LOL And after a google search... You're right! https://2captcha.com/ How lame is that: ''What you do for a living?'' ''Oh well, I solve captcha for Chinese/Russian spambots''
Chinese strikes back Would this be of any help ? https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/20...swaps-text-captchas-for-quivery-mouse-clicks/
BLOCK THOSE IP ADDRESSES !!! THIS IS CROSSING THE LIMIT!!!! LIKE 20 THREADS "SPAM" something has to be done!!!!!!!!! EDIT-- 50 Threads!!!
We're investigating. Humans are creating the accounts. Bots are spamming. We've modified the registration process and they still get through. Will continue cleaning and working on new solutions.
I don't know if you can implement a reddit style system, where users are initially gated quite heavily on making new threads, but as they receive more "likes" without being reported, the restrictions drop off?
