So, it's now four levels of spam protection. There is actually a 5th level where a range of IP address have been blocked already.

Anyway, I hope this slows them down.
I had to ban-and-clean another 4 accounts since...

I should have the right to delete and clean the bots out of this community as lets face it nothing much better to do these days and by god it is frustrating waiting for one of the mods to get in here and clean them out when i am sitting here watching it all happen EVERY day.

Well done Texrat and Reggie for starting the war against them.

Reggie, please consider installing other protection method. Especially last one from my post - field during registration, invisible to user (so no user can fill it), but visible to bots, so they fill it and fail - seems interesting.

It's perfectly visible that this generation of spambots is immune to current protection method. I even doubt if 5th line. would work.

Remember, more niche (less popular) protection method is used, the more effective it's against bots. No one write special spambots for maemo.org. Our current protection methods are damn popular, so they're almost of no-use.

I'm visiting tmo this weekend just to see what the battle plan is against these spambots. Far more interesting than the N9 is not here thread ;-)
