So, regarding the more recent spambot attacks,
I've thought of this idea on how the Forums website can keep out the spambots even if no STS staff are online.
My idea: Add a Javascript code that runs each time someone posts more than one thread within 3 minutes, in the same sub-forum, and has "magic specialist" in the title.
Here's my example code (I've only learned about 70-ish% of Javascript, so this might not be runnable "code") :
Disclaimer: This is not real/runnable code.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"> <!-- Ignore this line...it was included in the online html editor..I have no idea what this does... -->
<title>Spambot Finder</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type= "text/javascript">
var userPost; //The post or thread or reply that the Forumer has posted
var user; //The user
/** automatically sends a report to the mods stating that this user's post and profile might possibly be a spambot.
So that the mods can review to decide whether this user is a spambot,
or a normal user who accidentally created a thread relating to the spambots
*/
function flagAsPossibleSpamBot(){
}
if(userPost.toLowerCase().contains("baba ji") || userPost.toLowerCase().contains("B@b@J|") || userPost.toLowerCase().contains("babaJl")){
userPost.delete(); //delete the post
user.flagAsPossibleSpamBot();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
