well i havent seen them really create an account on the web and then post. di
they do that with runmaster's web?

The ones that did it here initially created an account via telnet or SSH. They even left an intelligible message to the sysop. I am not sure which interface the bot used (probably the web).

wow, really. that's crazy.
I never had any problems like that but 5 years ago i madecapcha thing to just mess up the bots.

when they post it's on the web.

AFAICT, that is the only current way to fix it. I think there *might be*
an add-on that uses some sort of CAPTCHA to prevent bots from creating accounts. Seems like I have seen Daryl Stout talking about it before.

i dont think daryl has the mental fortitude to setup something like that.
