Do something about the SPAMBOTS in subforums completed
Added by
Aturuxo To be honest, the whole forum should be reworked from scratch; but right now, the SPAMBOTS are a REAL PROBLEM that should be fixed asap. It's unfair to have your customers working to clear your forums one thread at a time (at least 4 clicks/thread, 10 users/thread), especially when there are many easy and automatic solutions to the problem... a simple CAPTCHA on registration should filter most of these bots.
ace891 I hate to necro a thread that is 6 months old, but it appears that the SPAMBOTs are all over the place again.
Aturuxo Well, this seems to be finally solved; thank you everyone for the votes and for fighting the good fight.
And thank you GOG for solving this issue and generally being awesome.
kojocel Eleven spamposts in Chinese in 30 minutes in Fallout sub-forum!
Please put a Captcha when creating a new account. This is becoming an insult.
HypersomniacLive What Hickory said.
At least they haven't marked this wish as "in progress".
Hickory Hang your heads in shame, GOG, if not for doing nothing, then for staying in the shadows and allowing your community to do the dirty work totally blind.
Now please, get it fixed.
toxicTom Let the community care for a few spam posts is one thing. But currently it's not manageable anymore.
Registration captcha's (for the bot registering new accounts every few minutes) and thread creation limit (for the bots creating multiple spam threads in within a few minutes) should be implemented ASAP!
PaterAlf GOG, you really have to do something about it. It can't be handled by the community alone any longer.
cemtufekci HANG 'EM HIGH!
RyaReisender This has become really bad, many subforums are just not usable anymore. If a CAPTCHA isn't enough just make it so you need to buy at least one game to be able to post.
stg83 Stop ignoring this huge problem GOG and do something about it. Relying on forum members to clean up this mess every time is not what the customers are supposed to be doing.
