It's getting worse and insane! Look at bunch of bots that registered (and make birthday ha ha) today...

That means registration is not hard enough. They make a spam accounts, but not all make spam posts, because they can't get through the approval process.

What kind of CAPTCHA is currently used?

I bet those registered in the short time I let off all kinds of validation for registration.

That was a bad move.

Even with CAPTCHA on spam bots are usually capable of "OCR" and bypass even some complex ones. Seems that now only the ones that require answer intelligent questions work well (for now) to stop them. Love forum also use a common forum system so rises chances to be a spam target. :(

Notice they're all 22 or 23 years old. i.e. Setting their birth date to 1989 or 1988. Is there something significant about that? If it were 32, I'd assume they were all registering as being born on December 31st, 1969 which is the beginning of UNIX time and why computers with dead clock batteries reset to that date when the power goes out. But 1989? Why that exact date? And could all of them be from the same spammer? Can we hunt them down and shoot them in the head or something? Would be pretty fun if you ask me. Or just punch them in the face and take away their computer, but then they'd buy a new one so we might as well shoot them. Maybe shoot them in the hands so they can never use them again. Or whatever. Whatever you guys prefer. Grab your pitchforks and torches! And shotguns I guess!!

I think we should use some bizarre human recognition. Like, identifying if a picture is of a horse or a dog, how many toes has one person, what does Marcellus Wallace look like... Something more dificult than the the typical "1+1".

I just signed up for the SuperMeatBoy forums and they asked me what the main boss' name was, what my girlfriends name is in the game and what the name of the company that made the game is.

One day spam bots will learn to google and cross-reference the answers to that. ;D

Ten years ago, yes. Currently, they would be 42.

I guess they think people on forums will most likely identify with young people, but are not children. Dunno.
