Looking at Far, Far Off-Topic alone, I'm seeing 16 spambot threads. And there's at least 6 in every other forum. That's ridiculous. Looking at the security question to make sure the registering computer isn't a spambot, it's just copy and paste some text. Now, I understand if reCAPTCHA is hard to implement, but can y'all at least make a random image, instead? Or maybe have something like showing the image of an animal (or Slime) and asking what it is? I mean, obviously we want to keep it basic enough that anyone can use the forums (so no using Dervish Slimes or whatever), but this must be even more tiring for those that are actually getting rid of the offending posts than it is just marking them.
Oh and is it helpful for us to report these threads, or just when spam gets into legitimate threads?
Edit: Make that 17 here and 7 in the others, for a total of 45 spambot threads. That's a lot to have to delete if you can't do it in bunches. I completely understand if it takes y'all a lot of time to delete them all, because that's really tiring.
Now 18 here, because Pasport Bolgarii needed the last word. >_>
+6 and +1, for a total of 56. Yuck!
