That... doesn't have anything to do with this?

Since I joined a couple of months ago i accidentally spammed a thread like 2 months ago without knowing so i got warned Unhappy
Anyway people have been banned for spamming before correct?
If so i still don`t get why people still do this
Probably either cuz there new or they simply just don`t know what they`re doing
Has anyone ever seen a member who spammed a thread on purpose

People who spam, come to spam. They do not care about their account. I thought that would be obvious :\

Sorry I just thought that most people spam by accident

Trust me, if someone was SPAMming by accident you would be able to tell.

I think it's simple: see a spam, report it. Human or bot, SPAMming isn't okay. Just do your part and let the people in charge take care of the rest.

As far as registration goes, I don't really like the question thing. If you'll notice, most people who come here to SPAM usually say something beyblade related. Besides, they can just look up the answer to the questions. This is the internet...
I say stick with the "Are you human?" tests and let it happen. It's just a viscous cycle anyways; we come out with new ways to stop them, they find ways around that. We upgrade, they upgrade, etc. Just do your best to report it when you can and otherwise just ignore it.

^Although this is pretty much what Seritonin said in the OP. So...

To filter out Spambots and human spammers, we should have a question that has to do with the beyblade anime, like the whole Nemesis disaster. E.G: What was the name of the person causing this mass destruction? i know its not really good, but heck, REAL beybladers would answer that in a heartbeat. another question would have a picture of a beyblade, and to become a member, they would have only 2 chances to answer, and if they don't, they wont be able to join. simple as that.

that may be good but what if a perant joins for there kid like Old Aquario and they dont know about the show

IIRC Those types of questions are not ideal because this forum is for people to learn; your cant expect someone to know everything about Beyblade.

And if someone actually wanted to join to Spam, there is something called Google.

Edit: Thinking optimistically : this tells us that others may see that our forum is popular!

It's a good idea, but I don't know the answer cuz I'm a plastics fan. Maybe something more obvious?

Maybe something like:

What is a beyblade?

(a) a spinning top
(b) a household pet
© a computer
(d) a knife

It's a little too obvious, but it might be better than nothing.

Even though it's obvious, it's still a good question to have just in case. Or even something like:

What is the name of the main protagonist for the Metal Fight Beyblade Series:

a) Josh Hernandez
b) Jimmy Orumba
c) Gingka Hagane
d) Lucas Okuzami

All of those answers are wrong, because antagonist is clearly not the word you actually wanted to use.

Guys, putting in questions and so forth like that isn't really necessary, as we do not get nearly enough bots(especially given the size of the forum) to warrant it.

Sorry to bump this thread but......

Is it just me or has there been alot more SPAM bots than usual?


EDIT: wait.....we're not supposed to go on spam bots profiles? Will you possibly get a virus?
Jan. 23, 2014  8:50 AM
 
If the spambots had a virus, they'd have to have the virus attachment that has the code, in other words, if they could potentially harm your computer, they would have to PM it to you and hope that you inevitably click it.
This may not fall in to the spambot category, but lately I have seen in the Whos Online users with grey color, which means the user is banned. Is this a case of a potential virus launch? These people have weird usernames too, like localsonly855, (Credit to th!nk) and clankbedew. These people aren't a part of the comedic CC dumps bro, they are the kind that try to mix the Phillipines Typhoon with buying Yankees, Dodgers (woo), China (the soccer team) to "benefit" the victims. That was a mouthful and a half.

None of the SPAM bots are a threat.

Then hell with this thread(no disrespect to Kai-V).

She meant they won't give you a virus, they're still annoying. This thread tells you what they are and not to reply to them.
