Actually, I'll give them a bit of props; they usually never try this hard on my other forums. They don't even read and respond, it's just copypasta.

Back to the topic though, that has my hopes up for W7. /me checks the Connect site

I was getting malicious porn bots on my site last week. They never posted, but would register a new account everyday with their website in their profile linking to porn that also had viruses in it.


If only it were the future, like Futurama. Malicious porn bots would have a
completely different and more awesome meaning.

I've now banned those I've spotted.

But these new spambots are quite intelligent. A pity, as we'd had it quiet for some time.

Oh those are no bots, It's a paid service for shady company's to use. Third world country people that try to look like legitimate posters. And it seems to work quite well. Its so subtle that most people wouldn't even catch on.

The first couple I just wondered if they were not too up on English and so could read the rules properly. But really this is ridiculous now.
