Hmmm,
I think that we now have multiformat bots from what I have been seeing. Shouldn't be that difficult I would have thought..........some sort of initial probe would then activate the appropriate subroutine?
The captcha thing is interesting as I suspect that the botmasters must have copies of the normally available fonts. It would be intersting to see what effect a custom captacha font had?............... I know, I know "security through obscurity"

Neither do I, as I stated in post #7 to this thread. But they obviously are making money out of it or they wouldn't do it?

Tell me about it I'm forever removing spam guestbook comments from my own site - when the subscription is next due I'll think twice about renewing it unless they come up with something better than their current defense, which is to allow a person to globally block an IP, then when that IP reaches a score of 10, they're banned from any guestbook (from that company). Trouble is you can only block an IP address once which is ridiculous - if someone leaves a spam message twice on your site, then why shouldn't you add another point to their score?

Nobody mentioned anything about his signature. It links to some jeremy guy's site on mit.edu - Has to be a real person also because how would a bot find the roll call forum to say hi. But then again if he goes to mit, he would probably be smart enough to make a 'smart' bot. Interesting either way.
Edit: Actually i think that might be open to anybody but im not sure. havent found a register page
Edit:Edit: Ok nevermind, it is only for students.

I really don't care, a bot is a bot no matter who wrote or is using it. The Mods at SuSE Linux forum think the same way:
