Spam Bots

[Keaton]

I really think the forum needs some more security for when users register because there is loads of spam bots coming onto the forum. Its weird how they are still getting through even with ReCaptcha though.

Thanks Keaton, unfortunately what you say is true. I'll be looking for new ways to improve our security over the coming days. Every so often a batch of bots get through all our security features and we have to find new security measures and update existing software in order to keep them out.

Please use the http://www.businessadviceforum.com/simpleblue/buttons/report.gif "Report a Post" feature to report any spam bot posts you see. Reporting posts helps us to keep our business forum spam free.

Maybe it's their way to greet us a "Happy New Year". :D

Yeah, I'll report them it just gets annoying when no moderator or admin is on and it fills up the recent posts. >:(

You could be right, I wish they'd do it somewhere else :)

Thanks for your support and for reporting the posts you did Keaton. I can appreciate that it is annoying. We are getting there and will find a way, over the next few days, to keep more of these bots out. Unfortunately some of them will always get through.
