Was there any reason it most definitely did not disappear for a few days?

With the flood of e-mails I used to get, I never thought I'd miss the report post button. Welcome back, little button.

We were pretty much right about this. The thing is, they were trying to fix it for them while not taking it away from us. When they realized that it caused us to lose post reporting entirely, they brought it back.

PROTIP: Outlaw people who post simply to type the word "This."

I don't know why I hate it so much, but I do. I can't be the only one. Right?

Thanks for the explanation, Guru. Now if I could just understand it...

*Vainamoinen* · 10/22/2012, 12:52 pm

Err... back to the REAL topic, anyone?

*Darth Marsden* · 10/22/2012, 12:54 pm

Right, sorry.

A captura section for anyone creating a new account? That usually works pretty well against bots.

Thumbs Up.

coolsome · 10/22/2012, 01:13 pm

I should become a vigilante and fight the bots.

*Darth Marsden* · 10/22/2012, 01:17 pm

I'd love to see your costume.

I would like to make a few suggestions regarding making it harder for bots to register on your site/forums:

There is also Question & Answer Verification (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...questionverify)

or how about using the http://www.stopforumspam.com/ bot database?

or even Captcha2 http://captcha2.com/
