What do I do about this - Galaxian - 12-10-2012
Someone apparently decided to bot on my site as he created 50+ accounts in under few minutes, what do I do about this? Email verification is enabled and he is using different IP all the time. See the image.

I think he just tries to catch the points for other countries ads.
- Ban all the users as soon as possible
- maybe a new captcha should be used (try re captcha)Accounts are diffenitely created by script
- enable points transfer only for VIPs or disable (it's not my favourite feature in the script)
- maybe, it should give a third option for user confirmation (Confirmation by admin)

Hello,

@john, if sombody really wanna make fake accounts, is not hard, doesn't matter what kind of captcha you add. For example, they can make a list with all questions and all answers for each question, they when they create a bot, they will add that list on bot, and depending of what question is, this bot will write answer. This kind of protection is very unsecure.
