« on: February 02, 2009, 09:00:37 pm »
In an effort to get rid of spam accounts signing up, and therefore flooding our emails with "New member" emails, Blaze added a SMF plugin for reCAPTCHA. I personally like reCAPTCHA, it's the only CAPTCHA that I really like.

If you know anybody who's having issues signing up, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I had to hardcode reCAPTCHA's ip in my firewall to make it work, which may not be the best way to do it.

I disabled the "require administrator approval" setting, since we haven't had any spambots sign up since we changed to reCAPTCHA. But a note to moderators -- be sure to keep an eye out.

We were getting 10+ registrations/day from spammers. x86 itself may not be serious business, as you've implied, but you can't just run a forum and leave it alone anymore. The assholes will make a mess.

When I read this I felt that there was underlying meaning to it.. possible aimed at trust.

But then again, I am stoned so eh..

Spambots are a threat. They are potentially a replacement for trolls.
It's like when machines become self aware.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

real math requires more creativeness than it does calculation.
