I manage a board where the bots have become quite clever. Even using SMF, with the BOT CHECK question, they still seem to guess the right answer sometimes.

I went to Admin approval but now check here to see if they are from a 'spammer' domain http://www.stopforumspam.com/

I thought it was kinda funny how someone would sign up with a weird sounding email address/domain. When I'd check out the domains the emails were from, they all looked good when you just look at the front page. But strangely, when you looked at the 'About' page, they all had the boilerplate from Wordpress. When I googled some of the domains in question, they came up on the stopforumspam link.

Bots suck :evil:
