done & done

Just curious about something - I find that a lot of the spam bots post in forums or threads that don't often get tons of new posts, so it's a little confusing seeing the updated name/timestamp for the thread even though that post was deleted... so the question is, is there any way to update the kill script to remove them from the "last post", or is that too expensive database-wise?

Also, maybe I should have put this in a different thread, but do you guys use a captcha for new registrations? Even an invisible javascript captcha usually prevents about 90% of spam if not more, since the bots don't parse JS, and you can code them to use a normal captcha for the tiny fraction of users who have JS disabled or are on downlevel browsers.

I'm pretty sure Swamper has something like that enabled already. He says he catches a large majority of spammers already.

Guys, only report if you see an actual post.

Thanks.

Ok. I guess i got a bit too enthusiastic with the bot hunting.. i thought it would have been nice to get them before they spam allover, the "76ers" anyway. I'll calm down and from now on report only if i see a post by one.

A lot of them are banned automatically right before the first post is accepted
