    Hey Mario,

    I'm a member of a couple other vBulletin forums that require you to click the quick reply button at the bottom right of a post in order to activate the text box in the quick reply section. A minor inconvenience but it seems to work for sites such as Boards.ie and GearSlutz. Would something like this be doable?

    What would that accomplish, exactly? Is that some sort of spambot prevention system?
  • edited May 2011
    It seems to be since I've never seen one on these forums.
    Just a humble suggestion though, maybe they have other safeguards that i'm not aware of...

    I just cleared out a couple posts by a spambot that posted some rather... hardcore pornographic images. Hopefully it was a one time thing but if it wasn't, well, we have still have some kids posting here right?

    Let me know if anything else comes up, I haven't been checking the orange belt much lately but I still have mod access.

    Thanks, I've been trying to catch the spambots as soon as I see their posts. It's probably going to come to buying a license for vBulletin 4.0 so we get access to all their updates, but it's not something I have in the budget right now. Maybe I'll put together a collection so the whole community can help out with the purchase. ^__^

    I would definitely throw a couple bucks your way to help do that.
  • edited June 2011
    Yeah, I can contribute.

    We just had the coolest spambot ever. It would just choose a random post from earlier in the thread, and re-post it completely out of context. And it chose some pretty funny posts to repeat, such as one berating Blob-of-evil for his choice in smilies.

    It's been an interesting few days for spambots. One that was flogging pills it marked as suitable for taking fatal overdoses with and now something in Polish.
  • edited September 2011
    I almost laughed out loud when I saw that a spambot had posted in here. The irony is strong enough to taste.

    Right now skimmed the forum. Amazing job.
  • edited November 2011
    These bot attacks are bothersome. I'm not even sure if we even have a word for posting 12 times in a row.
  • edited November 2011
    Damn dodecatuple posting!
  • edited November 2011
    Nice to see them cleared out, at least for now. Thank you Mods!

    You have to admire his persistence.

    Oh wait, I can fix this.

    ...LMFAO indeed. Irony!

    Heat cast-irony skillet over medium heat; add oil. Place sliced spambot in hot skillet; season with a pinch of salt. Cook until seared; turn slices over. Allow slices to cool before banning.
  • edited January 2012
    That is a surprisingly good recipe.
  • edited January 2012
    I can tell I wasn't fast enough to delete the spambots when people start having conversations with them. :P
  • edited January 2012
    Someone really ought to teach spambots some etiquette. Posting 12 times in a row is not cool.
  • edited January 2012
    At least that way they're only in 1 thread instead of 12? Ya know... that seems like really crappy advertising too.
  • edited January 2012
    Everyone knows if you say something enough times, people will agree with/purchase it.
  • edited January 2012
    Right, but shouldn't you like... spread out said saying somethings? It's like seeing 6 of the same commercial in a row. People aren't paying attention anymore, it's just annoying.

    ...I think I remember reading somewhere that the people who made that commercial actually studied to find the optimal number of repetitions needed to make the most impact. It probably worked.
  • edited January 2012
    Right, see. Point proven, repetition is really annoying.

    I can't stand those damn commercials...
