Bot/SPAM posts are outnumbering legitimate posts by.... a factor? 2 to 1?   Can a humanity test be implemented?

Re: Bot filter

You know, one of those stupid "what's written in this box" tests?

Hi,

Yes, the spam has been increasing quite rapidly recently. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

Re: Bot filter

I don't think the 'what's in this box' test would work here.  People who do this register as a user, post what is often a statement that seems innocuous but carry a web link in their signature panel.  I suggest it is the web link that should lead to immediate cancellation or a recommendation that they apply for approval for a link that is genuine papier mache.
