Forum Bots

Seems there's been a rash of forum bots in this particular forum lately.

You know, the guests that post all sorts of things and links to online scam sites like casinos and stuff.

Please, no one post after them till a mod can take care of it.

It's a pain, I know, but it only encourages them.

You can encourage bots?
(serious question, not sarcasm)

If whoever is sending out the bots, notices that they're being noticed (Bots can usually send back information to their origin) then they'll just keep sending bots to the same places.

However, if they keep getting deleted before they're noticed, consistantly, They'll be sent elsewhere, where they ARE noticed.

Or at least that's the general idea.
