Bots

Recently, a few bots have been able to get through security and make a post. This doesn't happen a lot, but is there a way to help prevent this (other than stuff like re-captcha)?

What are the posts like exactly?

studded belts
I think it’s a really cool spin on the studded belts… but what do you think?
(I’m wondering if I should order it for a friend for her birthday)

There are also some bots that take lines from previous messages in existing threads and add in advertisements in between.

So howare these created and I thought that this was a regular user. >_>

Nearly every bot that gets through the system gets banned by a mod within a day, anyway. It's really not a big deal.

OK. I didn't know because they usually only have one gray star instead of five.
