This doesn't particularly warrant a news post so I'm just going to sticky it here, since this is where most of the SPAM threads are based.

SPAM Bots are the users who sign up on WBO and post a seemingly unrelated post about a product with links in the post. These are essentially advertisements posted by people who have absolutely no interest in Beyblade.

If you come across one of these, please report it, and do not post in the thread, there is literally no point in doing so - you are only making matters worse by bumping the thread.

Just report it and ignore it, and a member of staff will delete it.

Thank you.

Thank you for posting this ♥.
What's been up with all of the spam bots lately? Anything you know of?

Wierdest thing I have ever posted. (Click to View)

Alright, so I was at my school (I didn't exist in this part), and Ryuga shows up. Gingka undigs 7 rubber bouncy balls and says he stole them from Ryuga when he was a kid, which does not make any sense as they just met, and then Kenta pulls out some thermometer and tilts it to the side, asking Madoka if she can do that. Then, Madoka starts randomly conducting an invisible orchestra. Now I am in my living room, on the old furniture no longer there, and my little sister is up watching some show for two-year-olds, then they ing a song and tilt their upper bodies to the left. My mom is doing an Internet, and stops and says that they always tilt because it represents healing (I was like ???). Then it ended.

I wish Bey Brad could still eat people's families.

Now, I wonder where Daegor42 ran off to.....

I'm in Narnia. The internet connection here sucks.

Kids are so bad with. . . kids. . . toys.

i know epic underground cage matches like in the Hasbro commercial

what's anubis
is it the teddy bear with a scar on it's face?

thats what....she said?

I just told you your entire solution. I promote tournaments like crazy, I've gotten elementary school kids to do their homework twice as fast with Beyblading as a reward, and I can sell light bulb sockets to the Amish.

What more do you want?

You play Beyblade ... with ... anyone else who plays Beyblade.

It amazes me how many people are confused by this.

I believe this combo's success is based on the recoil of the opposing wheel. It uses it to force it out.

So it's a combo that only works against bad combos? Great.

just a note to everyone reading this: this is real. [b]there is a real person who thinks like this.

There are very ignorant people here, though. I tried to help some kid here with combos because his combo was pretty bad. Then he just started going mad and he called me a 'Bossy Watermelon' or something like that.

You could fuse them together and Ginga would still win.

Someone ban this please.

Might as well ban the sun from tournaments while we're at it then.

no, because last time i checked, i can't move the sun INTO YOUR EYES

how do you battle

My MS that I bought tomorrow spin over 3 minutes if I don't hit it with other bey.

That doesn't make any sense.

I woke my son up the other day with a Basalt Horogium Vs Earth Eagle Bey Battle on his stomach! LOL

I am unable to post any results as the stadium woke up and ruined the battle.

I am sure this goes against all safe beyblading rules

On a ragged slide in the playground at school. This was a long time ago in elementary school (I think i was in 1st or 2nd grade?) in the good old days when plastic beys were found in local stores. All the 5th graders would be like "driger! tiger claw!" And then i would say "you know that doesn't work--" "YES IT DOES"

oh, silly upperclassmen.

I did not post that guys name, just in case he is "perched on a corner" waiting to post smut on our boards like he *possibly* did earlier this year again?

Thanks man, not sure how much others have seen this but I've seen it 4 times this week.

I reported 7 or 8 ads yesterday.

I don't mean to offend anyone with my posts, and I apologize in advance if I ever do.

Yeah, they are becoming quite the problem. I've seen close to around (20 I guess?) in the past few weeks/month. I wish there was a way to stop them, but at least they usually come on during the night time and I can report them.

I am more or less worried about the servers picking up a slew of level-4 viruses from these profiles.

Timers, eh?

I see that most of these crack the CATCHPA Code if that is the case.

Hrm... It HAS become increasingly common. It's annoying, and it wastes the mods and admins' time. I agree, someone's gonna pick up a virus if nothing is done. Or one of the links in a profile's signature may lead to a virus.

We even tried enforcing email registration upon registration, but even that did not work, they still activated themselves.

Anyway, I had already made a news post about this, but I suppose nobody reads it anyway :

We have easily been getting more than ten every day this week ...

Ten ?!

Man, this is huge. I noticed that topic, but I think that now it is sticked, people will notice it more, unless it is similar to what you said in the 'Posting Results' Thread in the Beyblade Customizations Forum. Hopefully it will not begin that way.

---

WOW. I thought that there were only maybe 1 or two a day? Amazing.
I say that it's amazing, even though I obviously know it's horrible. I wish there was a way that we could make a sort of "filter" for new members, however I'm sure that something like that does not exist yet...

Do you have any anti bot questions active on registration? I know there's a few different ones out there, mathematical, image verification, easy answer questions.

Obviously they are not really bots if they can pass the Captcha verification, as well as go activate their account in their email.

I believe there are a few anti-bot Plugins out there... looking as I type. I know of reCAPTCHA II and reCAPTCHA III, although I'm not sure how much help they'll be, or if you've already installed them. Didn't see Kai-V's post. Also, is there something similar between them, like *@yahoo2010.com, or *@yahoo2011.com? Although, I'm pretty sure Kai-V would've already checked that, seeing as that's what she advised me to do in this situation?

They might claim it is better than the default CAPTCHA, but seriously if they can pass the default one, then they should be able to pass reCAPTCHA too ...

No. I try to ban as many similarities as I can find, but there really are not much. I just banned a whole spread of Russian IP addresses, but otherwise there are barely any similarities.

Are they randomly posting in threads or starting new ones? Normally they start a new thread, if they are couldn't you enforce a moderator check on the first topic posted from new? Or enforce one post in a topic before allowing people to make threads?

It is too complicated, and it would also be unfair for the rest of the actual members who would have to wait for a staff member to be online.

This does bring that quiz thing from the "Incompetent Members" thread to mind. Maybe not a quick fix, but it could be a fix nonetheless.

How about installing a registration security question plug-in and use questions about Beyblades? I mean to want to join the forums you'd have to have some knowledge of Beyblade right?

I looked into that. I suppose we could always ask the easiest question like : "Who is the main character in Metal Fight Beyblade/Beyblade: Metal Fusion?", but at the same time I do not want to impose people to have knowledge of anything about Beyblade, that is why they come here : to learn.
