Pretty much every night the Spam/Hackers/Turkish Assholes register 5-20 names. All like HHJUHYG

They rarely try and post anything, sometimes, 1 or 2 posts, which dont show up until I approve them, so I have the chance to delete them before the spam shows up.

Even if it is a program/spam to register names, why? whats the fucking point of it?

You should add a CAPTCHA to the registration process

The random words it generates will bear a stunning resemblance to a CGS post.

It's a program. It runs on it's own. There is not somebody on the other end of line typing Redacted and hitting enter. There are a couple of reason why someone would create a program to create messageboard username:

1. They got shit to sell. Casting as wide a net as possible for moving units of Warhammer40K gold, bags and shoes, cheap high quality jerseys, etc.
2. Gaining access to your computer. If you happen to click on whatever link is in the spam, attempts will be made to turn your machine into a bot for their purposes. Your computer will not melt and the program may not work, just want to use some of its capacity to to help the program run a little faster with more capacity. For reason #1 or other internet hi-jinxs.
3. The Dead Hand. This program has no human behind it. Once upon a time it was created for either reason #1 or #2, but the creator has either moved on to something else or wait for it...forgot their password and now the program is just kind of doing it's own thing be-bopping around the internet from host to host.

What a sad and lonely existence.

Like Bruce Banner.

Ha!

Nice.

I don't get the reference. Is that one of the DragonballZ guys? I did just go over 9000(posts), what does that mean in the anime world?

Lots of things you could do, but it will cost you $75 an hour.

Someone from India would do it for about $5/hour.

I am holding out to hear what my plumber says. He is the only expert I trust.

That's why I have the question like 2 + two p l u s another t w o

BigFan,

Just ask Terry's Peeps about it.

He's a real answer man, he's got it all figured out.

I'd change the registration settings so that bots can't get in. I don't think anti spam does anything. Nor does admin approved. That just gets overwhelming.

See, I told you, BigFan.

Terry's Peeps has the best and most complete answer.
