Hi guys,

can you maybe do a bit of clean-up of the spam bots there is a lot of trash posts in-fact one post has 22 comments all spam I know it isn't high priority but would be nice, if you are busy give me the lowest level mod powers you can ill delete them all.

Figure more mods watch this section than any other before anyone says its not the best spot and I don't know who is active anymore either.



Sneaky mod response:
Spoiler!

Considering how much activity we get here, I don't think raising the barrier of entry is particularly smart.

Though yeah... probably 99.9% of new members are spambots :(

We use CAPTCHA for new registering members, so either these spambots are smart enough to get through the CAPTCHA, or they are being registered by real people. If it's the latter, then even if an admin gets an activation request, there would be no initial reason to not activate their account unless they mention they plan on spamming the forum with whatever. So I understand where you're coming from, but I dont think it would be a robust solution for the issue, unless we get, for example, multiple different spam accounts per day and need a full member stop to figure out what's going on.

we don't get new silkroad users we only get new spam bots raise a barrier get them to answer silkroad specific questions only someone who has played would be able to answer. captcha was cracked years ago recaptcha on the other hand is quite hard to crack as an ai. Honestly i would be tempted to just lock new registered users completely if someone new wants to come here maybe have an email system but who is the newest non spam user here?

since january only 4 registered users who have posted are not spam bots.
