Bots are fine and dandy. They just use our info to update their websites if they find any useful information.

We need to start worrying when they start making threads in Russian and posting ugly pr0n in the first post.

We could put some captchas in place.

Ones where the users have to guess the codeword or something.

Bots aren't that clever yet.

You need to enter a verification number to register on the site.

Fair enough. But bots usually get simple captchas right, from my experience anyway.

Like we could do a code word, maybe...

A B C D E ... etc
2 9 8 3 1 ... etc

Using the codebreaker above spell penis. :lol:
