As some of you may or may not be aware of, over the past few months we've been having problems with advertisement bots. While we've been doing all we can to stop them from posting, some still slip through. To help us combat it, we recently installed a mod to help us catch them. One part of the mod checks the first few posts of a new member. If there is any sort of link, video, or image in it, the post will not show and it will have to be approved by a moderator. So if you've been trying to post and haven't been having any luck, this is why. Before it would check any member with six or less posts, but today I lowered it to two. So we just ask that you either make a post or two before posting any links or that you simply have patience with our moderators until we approve them. Thanks guys. =]
No, not to my knowledge. We usually comb those out on our own, it's the ones that register and then post that are giving us the big issue.
Glad to see steps being implemented by the staff to keep bots down. The things cause nothing but trouble.
glad to hear that the staff is trying to combat bots to keep the forum spam free,^o^ keep up the good work guys.^_^
lol this reminds me of the advertising bot me and P answered lol I'm sooo glad this site is getting fortifactaions about these bots lol they have such weird usernames....
Yeah, have to say its probably the most impressive anti-bot tool we've installed so far. Even the ones that manage to slip through the registration get stopped on their very first post by it.

We know about that, it's the Search Index, it needs to be fixed but iirc we're having some troubles doing so.
