Spam Bots vs vB

[DoE]

You got to give Spam Bots credit; they do not give up. I bet a human will be trying next at my site, which is fine by me as they will need to create a character before thay can post, and that in in itself is 10 steps,

The one thing I noticed about Spam Bots now is that they come in groups of about 3, all different IP's and User Agents, but the common thing amongst them is that their User Agents are all old.

At my site so far: Spam Bots 0, vB 1000+

Bots don't work on my site, since I require email to be verified before you can even proceed with registration. Yay for vB.org!

That's not my link, that string of characters came with one of the bots.

I haven't had a bot join to date, so far so good,
