=== Influx of Bot Generated Accounts ===
=== Influx of Bot Generated Accounts ===
I think we had discussed previously the accounts that seem to be generated by bots of some sort. The number of accounts registered is starting to get a bit ridiculous, even if there are no follow-up spam posts. Is the captcha/other constraints used configurable enough that they could be modified to stem the flow a bit? [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 17:39, 8 March 2014 (CET)

It is configurable, but what do we do? It appears as though they have figured out our captcha trick for account creation but then get hit on the post captcha, so we just get tons of random accounts. But we don't even have access to IP addresses to find similarities for banning :(. Do you have any ideas? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 09:52, 9 March 2014 (CET)
