But that wouldn't stop these guys anyway, they are real live people with the ability to solve captchas , not just computers.

Re: Chinese spam
Hi James,
These programs are able to solve common captchas.
In my experience, it does stop 99% of them. It's just unprofitable for them to spend much time on each registration, - they do it with automatic registration software to get the mass coverage.James the Giant wrote:But that wouldn't stop these guys anyway, they are real live people with the ability to solve captchas , not just computers.

Re: Chinese spam
Hi Tilt,
I would recommend to delete all accounts that were not used for a year and left no posts, and also those with unreadable names, so that they will have no inroads into the upcoming forum.
This is most probably done with automatic registration software.tiltbillings wrote:This might be of interest. If one goes to the member section http://www.dhammawheel.com/memberlist.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the last page, as of this writing, is 277, and looking at page 277 and working forward one will see what are almost exclusively, for pages, Chinese spammers. From what I understand is that this is not the result of bots; rather, it is the result of human drones at work.

The garlic spam actually looks kind of tasty.

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.
