Don't delete them; I'll use them to gauge what to do about it like last time. Stick em in the trash or a new hidden forum or something so they don't stink up the public forums though.

Current registration system asks users a random multiplication question from 1×1 to 12×12. It's all original code, too, so someone must've sudenly made a breakthrough that lets them read and answer extra non-standard questions like that. I'll prolly have to make the security question more abstract and though-requiring, or have multiple questions to lower chances of a bot getting them all right.


ask them to do some calculus

Perhaps it's actually a human doing the login?

It could be. But the bots are pretty sophisticated too; they can get past phpBB's built-in image code and activate accounts via email (though the activation step would be simple for a human to handle since its just clicking links).

I'd do calculus problems, but then even I wouldn't have been able to sign up until this year. Maybe algebra and/or word problems would be a nice compromise.

Anyway, I won't make any changes for awhile; just leave the accounts registered and any posts they manage to make in the trash and if it goes away we can just forget it, if not I'll use their registration rate to gauge how effective new CAPTCHAs are.

Well since changing it to admin activation, there hasn't been any new bots besides one signing up so far.

I've had 20 accounts sign up, massive included. However they're all deactivated since I switched it to Admin Activation. Thus they aren't getting through.

For account creation, Could you make them choose a color that they see?

So then we could have one color and give a multiple choice of colors of different values. And they pick the color that we've chosen.

Ex.

A light blue pops up.
Q: What color is this? Choose the color from the list below.

Their choices are all dark colors (dark green, dark red etc) besides one which is a light blue.

They choose the light value. If you're color blind, then they would only see the values and could still guess the color.

I dunno how coding intensive that is though.

Okay I've been slacking about doing anything about this, but as I said elsewhere regarding backing stuff up for a looming hosting transfer, I had the brilliant idea to put an FTP program on my U3 flashdrive. So now I can work on this at school during my pointless tech class in addition to breaking the IT department's security measures.

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
