Can you distinguish between someone who has joined a game, and someone who has made a legal move? I suspect that joining a game is easy enough for a spambot, but I could be wrong.

I don't think anybody is going to be programming spambots to join games, but since Ryan says that the biggest problem with blocking these spam postings is that they are posted by real people, not bots, I think we could very well see them join one game, post their spam and disappear.

My vote is for "complete a game" as the posting requirement. The only downside I can foresee is a newbie joining a game and having some sort of problem with it, but being unable to post a question to the board. This could be handled by the in-game message board, though I'm not sure a newbie would recognize that.

(If I were paranoid, I'd worry about two spammers joining up, playing a quickie game with each other and then posting their spam, but I think that probably involves too much effort and time.)

Hi Lads,

now - when can we expect some measures to be implemented? NC-17 stuff is offered, together with setup.exe's, here.... Evil or Very Mad

Regards,

I have added more and more means to stop it, its a constant battle and one that never gets totally won. If you see a post about pics or pills or videos, don't click on it. That's the easiest solution. And, please don't post replies to the spam bots, that just makes it more difficult for me to moderate the post and get rid of it.
