https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA
CAPTCHA is a way of preventing these bots making new accounts. Will this work? CAPTCHA makes a image with letters, twists those letters, and adds a slight gradient to the background. Bots will try to read it, but they will fail.
Also, a bot sent me a scam letter, and the website is being hosted from a IP address. I did a WHOIS lookup, and this is what I found (Moderators, don't be sure if this is where the bot's creator is. It may be a proxy IP.): http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/94.242.254.74 |

I just got 5 messages from a spammer this month
Let's say there's a Captcha system if you make an account.
I support this. |

| There is already CAPTCHA usage in this website. However, giving out any IP is NOT permitted openly on a public forum. |

CAPTCHA is the single most annoying thing I have ever come across.
*looks at twisted letters and words*
*types it correctly*
*NOPE, YOU'RE WRONG*
I hate the thing, but if it could really stop the scam bots.....

Don't give out anyone's IP address, it's not safe.
Still a good thread, support. |
