Hi,
Recently some bots have been added to the forums.
These are scripts that register themselves and post crap just to show their signature (Which has links to gambling sites in it).
There are some easy ways to avoid this:
1) Create a number confirmation.
When you try to sign up it'll show a random number or word in an image (very important) and the user has to type what he sees in the image.
2) E-Mail confirmation.
Cannot remember if e-mail addresses must get confirmed on SoldatForums anymore but if not this sure has to be implemented.
3) Ban people with huge numbers behind their name.
Mention in the sign-up form that you will delete any user with more than 4 numbers in their name.
Bots will just skip that and sign up with alot of numbers.
4) Probably alot more if I keep thinking.
