Spam-Bombed

Hey, he helped me at least.

Another witness to the greatness of my tech support. Long as nobody ever asks me anything hard, I CAN BE A LEGEND.

Its completely true. So many of his boards have failed, the language of the Control Panel has become second-natured to him.

When I get in the ACP, it's not like I'm changing certain aspects of a board. It's like the board and I merge into one entity, moving simultaneously to one purpose. It's like sex without the mess.

And suddenly, this topic got a whole lot weirder.

I was just kidding.

It makes the same mess.

IDK if you have found your answer or not. However, I am pretty sure there are forum plug-ins you can use for these kinds of situations. Basically they ban all users, that are bots. Or the alternative, you can set up a multi-question verification. Email verification work wonders also. However if you are using forum-motion it's a piece of shit and there isn't a whole lot you can do. I do believe there is a way to add images to the verification process, however I haven't used forum-motion in a while so you might have to google it.

Oh and also, I would suggest making a rank that doesn't allow users to post, unless they get verified. Maybe name it "Unverified" just, because you're pro.

I didn't read the whole post as I'm going to bed soon, but It might help. Again Google is jizz.

Thanks, but I got it covered. It's not forumotion, thankfully, and I found some registration codes that I installed quite expertly. I wanted to avoid the CAPTCHA (letters and numbers), but I put that in, too. Banning bots would deter many potential real members.

As for the rank suggestion, php gave me Newly Registered Users as a default group just for that, but everyone hates that random limit, and it also makes newer members panic unnecessarily. Thankfully, though, I have it covered with a couple of codes at my registration. Thanks again for trying, though.
