Spambot I suppose

Did she not win the London Marathon yesterday - if so let her in

No - check the profile website

Er, why set up a bot for that? What's the point? The sad, sick fcuker is dead and took a lot of innocents with him while trying to blame someone else. And as for showing the vid on TV, extreme bad taste

This brings back the debate as to whether we should have a more secure forum. On SE1 you had to request permission to join whilst here it doesnt matter. It sickens me that people go to this bother in the first place, that nutter has a perfectly normal family which now have to live with this kind of abuse. Again just my 2p.

Although their name appears at the bottom they are unable to post until their account is authorised. If that wasnt the case then there would be hunners of Viagra etc etc posts. We seem to be getting loads of em at the mo!

Could we remove the WWW bit from application form?

Out of the members we have about 100 have a website but out of these about half have 0 posts

If someone actually wants a then could a administrator then add it for them.

I am sure we can come up with a few novel solutions to remove these bots and maybe we could add in a few admins as there seems to be a few sensible folk around

I mean we have Ed if he can do it anyone can.

Why not ask people to fill in another box? Something the bots won't recognise? Car type or preference? Favorite brand of petrol/aftershave/brake fluid etc

I agree that we should increase security, but also appreciate the efforts involved in running the group, and evolving the forum. Whatever changes are made, should allow ease of use for moderators.

I take it for granted that the forum is simply here, but forget that there are folk giving up their time to keep this going. Ta for the efforts

i think most forums have the jumbled up letter thingy which is now starting to be broken by clever programmers

Could we have something different?

eg we show a picture and ask a question like this



This animal is

1)a sheep
2)a goldfish
3) sexy

Answer 1 you get in
Answer 2 you get booted
Answer 3 "Hi shug welcome back"

Okay it is not a highly secure system but it is different to the vast majority of verification methods which should make it more secure
