    We have no captcha on account creation, but if they’re able to post on the forums, that means the captcha is not an issue for them (we have other spam prevention measures).

    I could limit the amount of posts registered users can write per day, for example, but that already proved to be problematic for regular users too.

    If your spam prevention measures utilize a database, such as StopForumSpam, or other similar services, it's certainly not very reliable. This is just my opinion, however I feel using something like Google's ReCaptcha is the most reliable solution, and is typically not a terrible burden for users. Unless something like that is implemented, I'm afraid these bots are going to continue capitalizing on the situation.

    They seem to have  found an exploit... perhaps there should  be captcha  introduced  for  any  forum posts  for  posters with less than  10  posts...

    Might be a pain for some of  us   but  its  more preferable to seeing  garbage from some nutter who thinks we would  bother to seek advice from him.

    There's no exploit, it's simply the fact that no form of spam prevention is required to make an account, therefore it's very easy for any botnet to register accounts and post spam. All they need to do is require a captcha on account creation, then the problem will be solved.

    I've seen bots spamming the forum a couple times now, and the reason I see for this happening is that no captcha is required when creating a BI account. Please pass this suggestion on to the proper individual(s) at Bohemia, it's really frustrating to see this forum be plastered with spam posts.

    I was recently introduced to Ylands, and so far I'm greatly enjoying it. The game may still be early in it's development, but I'd wager that it's destined to become one of the most popular games in it's genre. Very excited to see where the game goes, and glad to be along for the ride.
