How are bots still getting through?

[GoldenMerc]

Thought they wouldn't show until a smod approved, Just seen like 10?
Whats going on...

[Aiden]

its annoying is that 1 post thing not working or something or just turned off?

[Kardan]

I've said from the very beginning that the one post approval isn't on, but everyone's ignored me

Also, what captcha do we have on our registration page? Obviously they're getting past it, so perhaps we should change our captcha? They might be able to get past the new one as well, but surely it's worth a try?

They have the tic tac toe one, All of them get caught, spam bots are getting smarter and I would have thought doing something like whats 1+3838 then they put the answer in would be better

Thought so. I agree that a maths one could be better, or maybe both if possible.

the bot is on a spree

I must say I am impressed that they post in the right forum

But even if they're not bots, they're still getting through the system with 0 posts.

The one post approval is enabled, just somehow I think some threads are slipping through.
Sorted them

[xxMATTGxx]

I will need to look again but when I check it seems the threads get approved which is why they show up. We even got another system in to check how long it takes them to sign up. If its less than XX seconds then they get redirected to a YouTube video. I have noticed ThisHabbo are also getting these spam accounts as well.

I shall see what other stuff we can put into place.
