Stop this spam
TappedOut forum

The spam has been ridiculous for at least two days in a row.
I would recommend the following things:
Have to do a captcha to post. This will stop automated posts.
Can only post one thread every 5 minutes. Probably won't make a massive difference but could stop the crazy flood of incoming spam.
Fun idea for a captcha. Instead of having a barely unreadable text you have to enter in a textfield, you could have 5 cards in a row and ask the user to tap (click) a specific card :)

That would be cool. I think it would be somewhat easy for an AI to do, but they's have to be able specifically programmed to do it, meaning someone would have to specifically target T/O.

I say do a Captcha for creating accounts would work just the same, but I agree this spam needs to GTFO

yeah it was pretty ridiculous this morning when I woke up and literally every post on the main page was that spam BS.
