What's with the bot accounts all of a sudden?

Seems like RT is getting swarmed with them and the damn CBD weight loss crack gummies posts recently. Like the mods don't have enough to do without having to deal with these assholes. Though @Monkey Man has some hilarious responses when he bants them, so there's that LOL

Maybe they know we're all a bunch of fat-ass potheads up in here.

Yup, and you're only seeing a fraction of 'em. I zapped 11 yesterday, many within just a few minutes of their appearances.

Glad you noticed mate.

I try to incorporate their interest/s into somewhat-witty hammer-drops. I only do this if they appear in existing threads. Most of the time they start threads of their own and I clear them out before anyone sees them.

Wish all the calls I get to buy my house would route to Rig-talk…lol

 

[Monkey Man]

Only problem with that is I wouldn't be able to ban them for ya.

Do you have one of those fancy "click the stop signs / boats / bridges" captchas for stopping these things?

 

[Monkey Man]

Yeah, AFAIK it's a 2-stage Captcha now.

 

[Monkey Man]

Oh, and last year we tried all the available Captcha options for the forum software that're out there, measuring the various degrees of success and settling on the current one.

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Mandatory wait time (like a day or maybe week) before new accounts are able to make their first post?

 

[Monkey Man]

Wouldn't change anything AFAIA mate.

Thanks man.
