Future vs Fantasy Quake

We're being attacked by a rampaging bot.

Just shut off guest posting until Wasted can make the modifications to the anti-spam script I posted above, clean up the spam, then we'll see if the mod does any good after re-enabling guest posts.

Oh. You changed the can't confirm message... that's something.

Watch me while I type my every thought as I progress.

At least you made it option 14. Maybe they'll get tired. :P
Cos I don't see a 3-try limit (or 5 or 6 or 13).

Look what pops up when I don't choose "Yes" to post:

[quote]Please select "Yes" in "Submit post?" to submit your guest post[/quote]

No punishment... now I just commence trial and error...

That one looks more difficult to install, so let's try this first....
I made some alterations to the current mod to see if it will confuse the bots (or really stupid people) (unless I messed up the code, in which case I probably won't even be able to post :lol: )


The changes are in 4 places where I wrote in: #### Changed blah blah....

Maybe Wasted can try these alterations and we'll see if it does any good.

Is this different?

I didn't research it. Gunter made me lazy.

Affirmatory
Negativacity.

I guess some bots know about that mod.....
I thought it was one where you had to type in a number, but it just has a drop down box to select yes or no.
Maybe we need to change the choices to fool the bots... like yes, no, maybe, pink, blue......

True. The only solution is to block those fucking guests.

Oh yah. That mod works like a charm.

...and then WastedYouth said onto Bank; "Thou shalt havth the power to movth objects with thy mind!" and it was so!

MOVETHED

Someone move this to off-topic :roll:

Nonononono, yawn is the sound you make when you're tired/sleepy/bored/or any of those general things. It's generally used to signify that the current topic is boring/putting you to sleep/etc.

I don't know what's yawn,I though it was a scream,so I sayed it. Ha! :D
