If you want to yell at someone, yell at Synth, OK? If it were Tass and I, we'd have 5 different human verification systems. Synth does not like e-mail verification because it turns away legitimate users. Synth does not like human verification because it turns away legitimate users. BLAME SYNTH.

I never intended my comments to be directed at you guys who can't take the actions necessary to enact them. You can go ahead and take everything I said as being directed at Synth himself, although, I must admit, I haven't seen him on the forums lately. Don't much feel like IMing him just to whine about this, but this is definitely something that should be prodded with as much force as is possible.

You guys (read: mods) aren't doing a bad job, but what you're doing shouldn't be necessary. We shouldn't be worrying about bringing them down after the fact, we should be worried about keeping them out in the first place.

Furthermore, I am not staff here. It is not my job to fix this problem. It is my job to bitch and complain about it so that the administration can be constantly reminded how important this problem is.

Ok let's not start blaming people. Let's just propose a solution and hopefully someone will take it up.

How about a more simple solution. Can't create new threads until 5 posts.

No, i don't know how to code it, but I am sure it is possible.

[clarinet89]

Well there's another one. I reported it.

That isn't simple. Nor is it a solution.

It should be simple. It's not our fault if vbulletin has a weakness in the area of programmable mods which would be useful and should be easily accessible.

But it is definitely possible to put in limitations like that. Hard perhaps, but possible. And since captchas were failing to keep them back, it isn't so absurd of us to press this point until the problem is resolved.

But these forum upgrades. Did they resolve whatever problems were occurring that were allowing the bots to break the captchas/email verification?

Bumping this because bots have surfaced in lit again and people seem to think it's a good idea to post in their threads. If you see any bot-threads, just report them by clicking the little red-outlined triangle icon under the poster name.

Well it was a nice 3 month break while it lasted. Stupid bots >:[
