Heres a more simplier and easier idea that just about everyone may agree with: just let it be. Let those bots spamm and do whatever cause some of the things they post, we make fun of(which means theres something new to talk about). For Example: We are discussing about bot spammers right now, so thats something we are talking about. If there was nothing to talk about in the forums, then players would get less interested and just play different games for, well, a few years. So, lets all just, let it be.

and I agree with exploder, they really aren't harming anything and it just means the mods have to click a few more times when they visit the forums.
Again. This version of phpBB is old and outdated, newer versions have greater protection against spambots. The problem? Upgrading phpBB means breaking the site, something that King does not currently have the time to fix, and is something that neither Tasiin or myself have the experience to do.
If someone with experience with PHP scripting wants to step foward and offer to help, I'm sure King would be more than happy to allow them to do so. But until that happens we're all going to continue on as we have been by simply deleting spambots as they register, and banning their IPs.
Are they annoying? Sure, but I don't see why they should be giving headaches to anyone but those who have to go through the motions of deleting them, etc.

Then start something that is worth talking/makeing 4 pages about.Trust Kill wrote:...it's a boring topic I'd rather create my own spammy threads that are not about drugs to keep you awake, or herbs that'll make your boobs bigger. Bots are an anoyance, they're no fun ...We are discussing about bot spammers right now, so thats something we are talking about.
