Concerning the Spam Bots
« on: October 07, 2008, 03:29:39 pm »
Hello everyone,

As some of you may have noticed, there has been a large increase in the number of spam bots that have been trolling the forums. We are not the only forums that have been annoyed by this, as a security bug has been identified that allows custom scripts to be run that allows a bot to register on forums.

I've taken a look into the security bug and I'm working on some fixes of my own to solve this issue. The fixes will be released when the forums go to V2. Currently, I'm working on some back end stuff to prepare for V2 as it rolls around, which will hopefully be soon.

Regards,

Grinch
