Why?

[staropeace]

Why are we getting slammed with these bots or whatever they are? Banned names all over the place. I wish I had a shotgun.

Anyone having trouble with this board today? I keep on getting errors and stuff.

[blunthead]

Everything's fine for me today so far.

[kingricefan]

So far, so good.

In the past, I'd physically deleted them so you never saw them but I've been doing a "soft" delete so Jordan can track what's going on better to try to add filters to keep them from getting through at all. This is only a tiny fraction of the thousand plus attempts the site is hit with every day and a great number of them are coming from international sites and one country in particular. I joked with Jordan that this may be a site they use as "training" for their hackers. :smile2:

These sumbitches! What country has the most of them....not Canada, we are very polite,lol.

Oh, now I get it, it all those member 'names' at the bottom in red saying whose on-line.

Hi!

I haven't logged in for awhile so I have not yet experienced them. (Yet?)

(Take heed and beware! Ms. Mod and Jordan are on your trail. :eyebrow:)

Peace.

To paraphrase, this is not the country you are looking for if you're thinking of that one that starts with an "I". Keeping going farther east into Asia. :wink2:

[Becks19]

Perhaps it's the country that has deliberately devalued their dollar? I've seen all the names in red, and just thought we had a lot of people who were being buttheads. I didn't think of bots!

Ding ding ding...and we have a winner! There are a lot of those but the ones who are getting posts deleted and banned are real people as they have to have a legit email address and pass the Recaptcha test in order to make it to that point.

[kingricefan]

I say first we sting 'em up, then we kill 'em. :laugh:

[GNTLGNT]

Recaptcha test

...is that subject to FDA approval???....:tongue:
