Is it just me or does everyone keep seeing spam bots?

Postby ~MP3 Amplifier~ » September 14th, 2011, 6:06 am

There's...

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=47991

...and...

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=47947

...I'll lock this as soon as I find it why there are always some around. Are they made by normal people or just bots controlled by other websites etc? Also, I realised KY did something like this, but I'm really curious. :?

MP3 EDIT: Found two more. (creepy.. they're always online around this time!) :facepalm:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=47536

and

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=47506

They all seemed to have joined around the same time too. And sorry for not PMing you instead, but I was wondering what caused these?

That's normal. There are tons of services out there to register bots on forums to spread messages about suspicious services. Our code blocks 100% of the non-failing bots, though.
