These Spambots are Out of Control

I can't take them anymore. There has to be something we can do. Please?

Deleting their accounts isn't enough?

Deleting the accounts is easy enough, but it's so tedious. Is there some way to delete multiple accounts at once?

John can put the captcha back on, but it doesn't work if a legitamate user wants to come in and sign up for the forums.

He removed it? Why? Why can't new users just copy words off a flash app. Seriously this is too much.

According to one new guy that came on the chat awhile back, he couldn't see the words off of the app, so John just removed it to skip the hassle.

Removing it created even more hassle. I'm sure the both of you can see that. =\

Why would you ever remove the captcha? One guy has a problem with it and so you get rid of it entirely? It was probably a problem on that guy's end. Every site uses it for a reason.

It's made even worse by the fact that I just found out we can literally create accounts for people. If he was able to talk to us on the chat he didn't even need to pass the thing.

Well... Jkid you have a good idea (the one stated in chat). I'd think if a million people try to create accounts on one day, the forums should lag to give off that very sign. But they haven't (at least for now I think). But still I agree with your plan. The main question you and some of us have to ask is if it will work perfectly and not backfire in the future.

I think I understand what you're saying but remember the removing signups thing was TGN's idea. Not mine.
