Something like; "What is the title of the fourth tab in a Terragen power fractal?" Everybody having TG would know, or at least have the possibility to look it up. Or have some of these kind of questions rotate randomly.

Those bots really seem to be clever. I just reported a spammer who was "answering" N-drju's 2017 post with the title "Cement shoes". The spam was indeed a link to some sort of running shoes.

There is also a bug with the image uploading.

I was making a new thread about leaning rocks in a self scaling fake stones setup. But it turned out to be the scale exponent of the fractal warp shader, not the stones scale input. So I scratched the thread. It wasn't saved as a draft that I am aware of. Anyways, I made a reply in a thread, and it arbitrarily applied the image I never posted to my reply randomly.

It feels like the spam situation is even worse than before...

[Dune]

Looks like it indeed!

[Hannes]

Actually the spam IS worse than before!!!!!

[Dune]

  Yes! There must be a way to make entering and posting more personal.

Yeah I was curious what SMF themselves would say about it, and it's the same thing I say. Use unique security questions bots or Russians simply don't know how to get adequately.

CAPTCHA simply isn't secure on its own like I said. For bots 10 years ago sure. But we have AI that can literally see and identify images now.

Holy crap! Please Planetside staff, do something!!! There's a spammer sending loads of spam at the moment!!! Is it still that easy to create an account?

Still no security questions which even SMF staff said is the only real way. Something unique only a person could do. Honestly Ulco's idea on it being something to find in the software is the best. No reason people really need to register, even for "is this software good for" accounts without at least firing up the Freeware copy..

We are just Planetside babies, and we need protection.

The megaspammer, who started to spam yesterday sent about 14 pages of porn links, and hasn't stopped yet, but used another account. This is not fun anymore.
It's really time to do something!!
