Maybe the ones still spamming could be human, if they are bypassing reCAPTCHA then they have to be or they are new bots.

What do you mean by "new bots?"

Also, it seems that the bots are able to beat CAPTCHA.

How about removing links from the forums for a few days?

Adbots spam for Google search position, so they don't care if the link is invalid. Besides, this will also be annoying because legitimate links will also be invalid. I therefore say no to this idea.

Search the Net and you easaly find out, that some (not all) bots can deal with CAPTCHA.


The security of a CAPTCHA is determined by how hard it is for a computer/bot to separate the characters.

I don't understand your point. If links can't be posted in the forums then they can't post those sites here.

Less annoying than all these advertising threads.

And I can't read most of these ****ty capchas.
