I haven't read the linked article, but I know that captchas offer different kinds of solving for accessibility reasons. So I'm guessing that bots have no problem with audio captchas.

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I like this one. "Select the image that is least repeated." the least common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Currently we don't pay anymore for the antispambot which is like an extra 100$ per year IIRC. As for fancy captchas, I'm not sure we can add them to the forum that easily, it's kinda of a packaged solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, I would try, if possible, to just disallow audio captchas. I don't imagine many visually impaired people to be interested in a game like 0AD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one threw both of us off, I think, but when the other ones showed up I knew it was spam. It's almost sad. The old ones were trying to get free adds, these are messing with us for no reason. Hopefully when we get the Gitea we can movie all issue reporting there, and then lock down the forum a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one puts a bot to work without reason, however trivial it might be. Anyway, I reported them when I saw them and didn't bother with speculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not us specifically, but like you said, they don't do it without reason. If they aren't trying to promote something, why are they spamming the forums?
