so wait, you mean they go and take random words on the topic and peice them together into a, somewhat, coherent sentence?
If so, it also works for them because they are new, so a poorly written, but on topic, post can just be taken as just a newbie with a lack of netiquette.
True, but there are some keys that point to a bot. Also, an exact word match google search gives some hint it's a spam post.
Although, if it pulls words from the forum topic, that couldnt work :/
although most bots we have here are adbots, so google searching does work

Indeed, I've used that several times to uncover a spambot behind what seems like a reasonable (if very offtopic) technical question.

Looks like it has been dealt with; thanks for the report.
I wonder how many bots would sign up on a forum if all security measures were temporarily disabled...
DJ, I think cemetech might go down with all the traffic
or at least there would be so many spam posts that some people would have to be temp-mods to get rid of them all
He wasn't specifically implying Cemetech should do this; perhaps there's a report online of another forum doing such a thing.
I know
