Recently the spam bots have returned... basically the captcha system (the thing that asks you to type in characters from an image when you register) was breached by bots with decent optical character regonition (likely)
Using the new system there are now 36^6 or 2,176,782,336 images I've also removed 3 of the destination sites from the internet. Hopefully all this means we should be spam bot free for a while (the odd one may get through from accounts registered before this change) - if anyone hears of problems registering on the site then let me know We get attacked like this a lot - a throwback from the days of BF2 where we were targeted by some hacksites/individual for the work done in anti-cheats coding. thanks, Monkeyfiend -------------------- |
