Like, I thought Roblox introduced a new Captcha with the new accounts posting on the forums...

nah you make an account yourself and go through the captcha, then set the bot to work.

No, I have tried out an alternative account, and apparently new accounts need a captcha to post. Also, please post on Gargantuan. I posted an update...

Like I said, the actual user goes through the captcha, wherever it may be, then lets the bot take over.

So, every time the bot posts, the main guy has to put in the captcha. Sounds like it might just be more effective to do the spam naturally Why are you avoiding Gargantuan? Join DX!

Holy moses, the bots are really persistent this time around. Who hates the RPF that much??

they don't hate us we're at the bottom of the forum and the mods more or less ignore this place entirely

Meh, there isn't even point getting upset over bots tbh. They're going to do what they want to no matter how much you tell them otherwise, and they're hardly worth paying attention to unless they do something genuinely funny. Just move on already.

Still feels good to PM a mod like SlingshotJunkie, though, and get some idiot using a BC account as a bot banned for good.

Okay, seems like the bot attack finally ended. This one was more annoying than usual for running so long...

No matter what system is put in place these people will find a way to get a bot through. As annoying as it may be sometimes its best to just report them otherwise you run the risk of giving them another thread to spam.

Yeah, I'm alive. I hadn't been feeling the whole RP ordeal lately so I kinda dropped off the face of the earth. I'm working on a zed roleplay though, so maybe that'll change soon.
