Legends World Forums need essential Spambot protection - new members should need permission for their first post(s) and there should be no link-posting in a first few messages, because this is ridiculous:

Hmmm, right now we have keyCaptcha spambot protection. Requires guest users to pass the anti-spambot task to help prevent automated postings.

I changed time between posts from 15 secs to 60 secs now as I don't think people will post that quickly. Maybe that will help those spambots that do get through.

Moderators are able to delete a whole user's posts, so shouldn't be that much work to delete these spam posts.

As far as I know (and I don't know much) the best protection against spam are moderators (good ole intelligent humans): new members shouldn't be allowed to post anything without a moderator's approval.

There are spam posts similar to the ones depicted in the picture above at the eMule & BitTorrent Links section posted by someone called wszj111222, joined the site on Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:13 am.

More recent ones at the General Topics section by someone named fangdabaoy who also joined at Fri Jul 19, 2019 5:56 am. This is something new and strange because since I joined this site, I never saw such posts until today, is this normal, like has happened before or is it something new that started happening recently, and a quick question, what does a member have to do to become a moderator at the LW site, just wanted to know .

i deleted one spam account a few days ago...they get through some times. you may have not noticed in past. or maybe bots are getting smarter to bypass protections.

More spam:

There's no pilot in the plane...

I deleted another spam account yesterday and one last week too. No protection is foolproof.

Scary has us , we kinda clean the forum behind the scenes ... but no one is perfect

IDEA: Timeout between posts (bonus if the time variable depends on the user's rank) - just like for the hacker known as 4chan
