These adbots are getting downright sexual too. Have you seen the avatars they are using now? I'm pretty sure they could be considered porn, since some of them have topless women.

Oh, really? I haven't seen that yet.
The chatbots are also starting to have more intelligent thread subjects too. Instead of "Dating black for christian Free", they have titles like "So do you guys do this", and stuff like that.

The iteration of these lines brings gold;
The framing of this circle on the ground
Brings whirlwinds, tempests, thunder and lightning.
So many days have passed now since the spambot uprising, supplies are running low and our moral is broken. Occasionally they send fodder our way in hope of scouting out any weaknesses, and the have been successful. A security breach in our connection has been detected and almost all my soilders are positioned to hold the line against the oncoming legion of gambling websites and free russian chat.
I can hear the gunshots now, sometimes I hear a scream in the distance. Each scream is louder, closer than the last. Our last hope is the nearby fortress. I have heard stories that the mighty captcha itself guards the hill and constantly prevent spambots from accessing the fort through a simple test that breaks the minds of many bots, while any others are gunned down by teams of elites called "moderators".
Before I start endlessly babbling I must inform my soilders about the plan and hope for the best. Goodbye humanity, this might be the last I see of you besides all the porn that may be shoved down my throat.
Sincerely, Dark.

I've now seen you post **** like this complaining about spammers but you never seem to actually post anything productive or relevant to the topic. Get a life mate.
I report spam every time I see it. Don't act like you know me.
Okay. The idea was that we made posting tiers. New users can't post or make threads for 24 hours, then they can post, but a mod has to approve of those posts, then the user can post freely, and start new threads, but the mods have to approve them,THEN the user can post and make new threads freely.

Do we yet know if these things are automated or if they are actual people, probably working in sweatshops?
THE WAR BEGINS! :3
The ones that have all the profile fields filled out, like location, interests, stuff like that, are most likely automated.
At least, the registration was.

Your friendly neighborhood dragon. Don't be scared, I won't bite!
I am here for you, Don't be afraid to send me a message.
I think that having it risen to even 10 would stop most spamming.
Well, the 10 post requirement would mean they have learnt how to use the search feature, or how to find topics on their own.
I've only seen about 1/2 to 1/3 able to do that, so I think it would be fairly effective.
Also, I think the "no threads until you have <x> posts" is a little silly. I see a LOT of users who sign up just so they can share their problem, or screenshots, or question about the game. With more responsible use of stickies, that would not happen nearly as often, of course, but let's face it: it's how a lot of users are "introduced" to this community, at least from what I've seen. I'm somewhat of an exception to the rule in that I joined to be able to post on the thread of a creative server I played on (of course, that's a year and a half ago, too :tongue.gif: ).
I think that Tehpillowstar's suggestion would be best, though perhaps we could make it more efficient so only posts that have url or img tags in them need to be pre-moderated, and this could work for the first 5-10 posts and/or new threads. How about that?
I'm surprised the OP thinks this is the worst thing that could happen. If you ask me, handing the forum over to chesse20 would have been significantly worse.
Oh, really? I haven't seen that yet.

I report spam every time I see it. Don't act like you know me.
My wounds from the gambling beatings have finally stopped bleeding.
My fingernail file has broke the bars.
I am typing from outside, a successful escape.
I see a barn, with spam threads everywhere.
I take a dead man's gun, poor thing.
Then the 'dead' man leaps up and grabs me chanting, 'GAMBLE FOR FREE AT OUR NEW VIRUS GIVING WEBSI--'
That is as far as he got before, ironically, I blew his head off.
I see a crappy fortress under attack by Russian crap.
Now setting the Bluetooth on my ear on. Wish me luck.
(BLUETOOTH DETECTED)
Alright computer! My will is that every ****ing person will get better! *running is heard*
HUMANS! HEY! HI! COVER ME! *bullets are heard*
Distanced voice: Theres a smart one!
Oh crap. GOTTA MAKE IT THERE!
(Dark, you carry away. I am now running towards your fortress.)
We do have some ideas to battle the spambots, but I'm pretty sure you won't like them.

Like No linking, no embedding, no (or small) signatures/avatars.
No new topics, just posts.

You heard that, green and red.
But really, handling all this spam is like a war. A never-ending war where the only soldier is a 14-year-old girl who has school tomorrow.
A war.
