Oh, I've done that, but as I didn't get response, and the reported user/post is still there, I didn't use that feature anymore.raboof wrote:Feel free to use the 'reporting' feature of the forum when you see more such posts, by the way.

Those bots are easy to detect, as they use all the same "engine". Register, set a simple signature, make a post with copied old content. Wait some time and then change the signature to commercial off-topic stuff.
I've 2-3 of those every week in my own forum. Didn't know, how we could avoid that they could register,
I just realizes that ConnieKeefe have change his signature as well already.
On the road again.

Thanks, those seem to have been the last ones in the queue, guess I missed them. Removed those and the 'zohaa' mentioned in the thread you linked.tramp wrote:You want more? Here you go:

Adding a 'custom security question' worked surprisingly well in the past, I suppose they've cracked this one now though. I wonder if this'd be as simple as updating the question .tramp wrote:I've 2-3 of those every week in my own forum. Didn't know, how we could avoid that they could register
