Bots Bots Everywhere
Seems like the forum is getting overrun with bots these days. Something needs to be done. Maybe a change to the registration process? Something requiring admin approval?

Thai LMAO ok this is getting ridiculous.
@ admin
Can something be done to make it harder to register fake accounts? I don't know maybe pay CloudFlare or some more hardcore security services.
.
This is definitely effecting the user experience.

Not too long ago I would have said that the coincidence would be pretty crazy, but these days I would be more surprised if no bot replied.

I know that not too long ago a mod/admin instructed us to STOP reporting spam posts. assuming people actually did as instructed, im sure that's helping to make things worse. they have been given free reign.

It looks like someone did a little cleanup. I made a bad reply in a bot post and it botted me back list night. that thread is gone.

The problem is that is all people are doing. Just deleting them. But they are popping up with more and more frequency. They need to do something to cut them off at the pass.

why would they say to stop reporting spam?
random thought, some bots can be site made to pump up forum view counts to be the "most viewed 4runner forum".
just a thought
