Forum:Spam bots
The spam bot accounts are becoming a serious problem. Multiple accounts are created each day, editing their own user pages, creating spam pages, and also, for some reason, targeting specific pages like User:Atarax. Clearly, the current Captcha isn't working. How can we deal with this? Does anyone have access to the behind the scenes stuff? Do we need to contact wikkii? Can we try anything listed here?

You read my mind, it really is getting ridiculous now lol. While I don't know anything about the behind the scenes stuff, I believe Atarax has been targeted because his name is actually a drug and I have seen it pop up in spam sometimes myself...perhaps he should change his name if nothing else works.

I'll upgrade our verification system in the next day or two (I'm currently doing a backup and updating the core software to 1.17 and it depends on the new version to work properly). --How often to wash makeup brushes? ,<a href=http://cheap-macmakeupor.webs.com/#38275>wholesale mac makeup</a> ,,http://clarisonicmia2us.webs.com/#18392 10:37, 1 February 2012 (PST)
