jonkw Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 These bloody spambots are attacking forums everywhere.What we've done on BX Club and French Car Forum is to apply a mod called Textual Confirmation to the registration process, anyone registering must answer a question to prove they are not a spambot (i.e. a question we think a human can answer, not a spambot)It's quite easy to apply, and is free at http://bbantispam.com/On BX Club we ask questions like "What colour is LHM fluid" which tends to baffle the bots. Forum then sends me an email like the below. I'm getting about 20 a day at the moment, which is great, as it's 20 spambots thwarted!"User 'CosmosM' has failed to answer the Textual Confirmation question correctly. It might be a spambot, therefore the registration is rejected.--User: CosmosME-mail domain: @pmrmail.comWebsite: http://somespamshitbloodywebsite.bizSignature:All you need is Love...-Data provided by the server:REMOTE_ADDR=69.46.28.225HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; FunWebProducts; MRA 4.6 (build 01425); .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)ENCODING=iso-8859-1"If you want to apply mods like this, give us a shout over at bxclub.co.uk/forum.

AnthonyG Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 It looks like a Hindu or Thai language, but with a reference to a Russian shite - it's perhaps a good thing we can't read it!
MrRegieRitmo Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 On BX Club we ask questions like "What colour is LHM fluid" which tends to baffle the bots.I think that might baffle more than the bots! It might be a spambot, therefore the registration is rejected. On the other hand, it could be an ignorant human who you need to take pity on & allow to pass through.
jonkw Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 LOLZ ^^I figured on that question, that 99% of BX owners would know what colour LHM fluid was due to it leaking on their driveways due to perished return pipes etc etc!
MrRegieRitmo Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 ^^^Not the same colour as tea then? Hello there Father! How's the MkV Corty going, or isn't it?
Father Ted Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Sadly we lost the Cortina when the council took the roads in for safe keeping, we now have another Ford that we use for the Lords work....
