Spam bot banned. Hopefully it will hold the bot in a state of confusion.
Thanks for the report.

Thanks for that. Sorry I posted in the other thread before I saw in this one you had dealt with it. Maybe merge the two threads?

Re: Spam msg
Bots get better the more AI improves. The account used looked like a real person (we (Jeff and crew) manually approve account requests). Of the many requests submitted over the years, very few bots make it in. If the rate increases I’ll consider making it much harder for bots to login. That means it will be harder for us too.

I noticed some sites require you to answer a question, like what is Froude's calculation for hull speed. Or where is the transom on a boat...

Re: Spam msg
There is a “justification” requirement on the forum. Humans read it. If one gets through, then a human couldn’t tell. Do not underestimate the capability of AI to seem human.

Other forum I am on uses the same software as this one, and the admins approve all users manually. Same as here, occasionally one gets through.
