Spambots
How do you deal with these? I keep them for the member count but ban them so they can't log in anymore lol.

1. They make accounts.
2. They go into every topic, category, and post annoying (even bad) pictures and posts.
The only time I've ever seen one was when Chocolate invaded CPC.
He just posted these weird dots, and pictures of a weird dude in a Spam suit.
BCP told me that another came later and posted bad stuff.
I'm not 100% sure how to deal with them, other than IP ban them...

No, you don't want to go to their accounts. XD
They could have cookie/password stealers embedded in them.

^If they're hackers they can work right past that.
Trust me. XD
But it does work most of the time.

I think that they're kind of funny as long as what they post isnt anything bad then I wouldnt care.How do you deal with these? I keep them for the member count but ban them so they can't log in anymore lol.
I'd Do the same thing, when they're done. Same as ^^

They say that spambots can get pretty crafty. I haven't had to deal with one yet, though.

They have been able to change their mood on my forum. Changing it means having to go through the user control panel. They are becomnig more smart.

If you have phpBB3, you can block the GMT-12 time zone. That cuts down the number of spam bots quite a bit.
