[quote="Blertles"]I didn't know- is this the firestorm guy? ] That and a few other things. The website may need a tweaking so we can differentiate between cybots and humans. Once the cybots are blocked, we can deal with the trolls on a one to one basis without shunning honest contributors. :idea:

Seems like most Forums are using CAPTCHA now. Even to post a comment on my website I installed it to keep out the bots and used a java script to hide my email from the spiders.

Do you guys remember when we use to get all those spam emails that read something, I am the son of the late General Nibba of Nigeria. I need to find an account to deposit $1,000,000 US into and if you help me I will give you 20%..." Etc??? This was a scheme to get bank account info or to get you to wire them a "test"deposit to make sure things were working before they would send the BIG wire to you. HA HA.They would just keep the test wire.

I was getting some many of those, all with different twists and styles that I started collecting them. Then when I would get a new one I would write back to the person saying, "Is that all the better you can do writing a con-letter like this. I have a lot better ones." Then I would email the person about 25 emails in a row, each with a different con-letter. Each would start out with, "And this one is better than yours." Needless to say I never heard back. :twisted: Course, this would never work with a bot. :wink:
