Spam bots are being banned on the sight, i will make the captcha a bit harder to understand (even for humans) :twisted:

Anyone has the script to make Rapidshare like captchas? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Those spam bots are annoying... i cant make the captcha more harder because then even humans couldt recognize it i will try to change the font to something more hard.

Any ideas are welcome :lol:

Was thinking about Lucida Handwriting :twisted: good idea aiki.

Also i will add a "Human Question Verification" with a tricky question, if you are not smart enought to answer it, then you dont deserve to be in this forum LOL

BE AWARE!!!

I'll reiterate my recommendation... but then I have no idea how hard it would be to do it =\

1- You create an account
2- There is an 'introduction section' on the forum (only section where new members can post)
3- The new members need to post an introduction there(it would allow us to get to know each other a bit too :)):
* Who are they?
* What is their interest on this forum?
4- Once they introduce themselves a moderator/administrator gives them access to the rest of the forum.
(I'm sure this could be automated too)

there is something somewhat like this on http://l2jfr.jeun.fr

Not sure about TheOne' or Kerberos_20 solution, because this forum is not so much frequented by l2j staff and all new members will wait for days..imho.
