I just caught a guest from SungKyunKwan University registering for an account here.

Fresh meat?

Bot, most likely.

The bots seem to prefer the intro and ask away threads.

That makes sense, looking for ways to get into a forum and then flood it with drug ads and other things!

A good filter or stuff can cut them down.

There have been a few in the past and that's why we check new members to make sure they aren't spambots before approving new accounts.

The anti-bot measures work well, too.

Thanks for the answers :)

Yes I guess you guys do have good anti-spam measures. When my friend from India tried to join parts had to do it manually because his Ip was in the same range as spambots.

before I posted here I posted at some dumb place ( not talking about the manson forum) and it had like 10 times the membership but the place was seriously flooded with spam. Everyday there were at least 5 spam threads.

Ive see that before, a guest trying to "moderate" a topic.

Does that mean they are reporting it ?
