You might just wanna check the whole introductions thread, first page, at this point. They keep popping up.

The funny thing is that you can just scour the Users page and the Introduction threads and get most of them in one go.

Yeah, should be an easy fix with either adding a "must exist for x hours" or some e-mail verification (which I can understand staff doesn't want)

Anyway, not a bot (I think), but I seem to notice this user is very spammy with their posts in terms of advertising their roleplay. Probably doesn't break rules, but... annoying?

Even a basic Captcha might be enough to deter botposting, especially if they're all being created from one source, because that's a lot of Captchas they'd have to go through.

I leave for ONE business trip...

>I'm hoping there will be a future update that can curb this, because they're starting to come in droves.

In theory, Cloudflare's antispam should be helping us... =/

I'll try to think up a heuristic on how to detect these guys better. Maybe "if the username and email are just a bunch of random characters, then ban" but that sort of scares me.
