    Hi there,

    isn't there a way to add some checking to take care of spambots? These messages are pretty annoying...

    Bye, MarK.

    I have tried to keep things clean and once again deleted a few threads. The problem is I STILL can't delete accounts or even delete all messages due to bugs in removal code.

    Stupid idea, but is it possible to just edit the data like EMail and Password? Both together should disable them, too and using some unique email would help to find it later on.

    I have restrictions to both edit and delete accounts so at least I can't do it

    Never delete an account. Just disable it and if needed edit the profile to remove url or change password !

    i saw a simple spambot defender, to add a message You have to write some special text... like: opposite of white. and if You write black, it works on, if no... cYa... :) simple, but effective against spambots.

    bye, MarK.

    More bugs. Deleted spambots message and the whole thread disappeared. It was the one about interviewing JacaDcaps, very sorry for this inconvenience.

    Edit: Meanwhile, the Google cache has been updated to a point in time after the interview has been deleted from MorphZone. It is still to be found there:

    Sh!t, add a captcha to registration ASAP or else repeated spambot attacks will render this forum useless.
