Spam Bots
(1/1)
Gerhard:
Before I can reach the login site, comes another Windows that says "You are a Spam bot". I had to compute 2 simple mathematical equations. So again: I'm not a spam bot. Is that the normal procedure for new forum members?

Keith Kanios:
Depends on how you define normal for the modern Internet.
Dynamic IP addresses and botnets are common, so I would suspect that your IP address (at the time of signing up) was previously identified as a source of spam, hence the verification.
In short, don't take it personally. Spam is mainly automated, and thus we must play that "cat and mouse" game by utilizing automated anti-spam solutions, lest we drown in the sewers of the Internet... not to be confused with Facebook.

I don't take it personally and I know the point with automated spam. I had posted into several threads and that should be the proof that I'm not a spam bot.
Anyway, the login procedure works for me now and that's okay.
