Twokinds ARCHIVE Forums

While I have my mind on the bots I might as well give you a tip for blocking the forum-sweeping bots. Simply add a single question to the registration page that asks "Who does Tom fall in love with in TwoKinds?".

It seems simple but it works since these sweepers are made to register to thousands of forums every day, bots may be able to read text off a page or image but they cannot even begin to understand what goes on in a story let alone intelligently give the correct answer. And looking through 500 members at least 400 were bots and all if not almost all are sweepers. And any human, furry, or otherwise would know the answer as long as they have read some of the TwoKinds webcomic.

Personally, I must say that I apparently am too ignorant to answer that question. Though currently we have the question "Are you Human?" or along those lines, if I am not mistaken.

We have, but bots can crack through it nowadays. A simple yes-no question is way too simple.

ClammaalucH. >.> it just released confirmation of which side it's on

I've finished the prototype Bot-Seeker so I'll be testing it soon to make sure it doesn't accidently add humans to the DefiniteBot list.

Aaaand...Who are you again?

HE'S A MIMIC! KILL HIM! :shock:

I'm the forum newbie making a program that will hunt out most of the bot accounts in the member list? I could show the results of the proto in a little bit

I'd better not be on that list when you run the program, if I am you fail at programming

Raphael: No worries friend, ^_^ there isn't a single thing in your profile that would even be considered bot-like.

Quick, Raph, start posting broken links to viagra distributors!

Heh, that's one way for it to add you Raph

Fixed my name for you Kit...Why is everyone spelling my name wrong? >_>

I think posting Viagra ads would be more up your aisle Fast. you're the one here that makes all of the sex related jokes, not me.

it's probably just that almost all the time when A and E are adjacent to each other in a word they usually are in the order EA and people just type them that way out of habit.

This be reportie thread, not talkie thread, yes yes...
