So are all these random posts by qazbabys the work of a hack or a bot? they all are completely random bits from books or something with links to world of warcraft powerleveling or gold buying sights

To me it looked like high school essays. I bet it was a bot, since it commented on the first 5 available links down the line in the General Board.

I used to get over 1000 bots a month on the forum but I played with the code and now even 1 hit is rare. When they do get in, they post 5-10 random messages. Following the links will get you attacked by a virus.
To get past my changes a person has to look at why the bot is failing and then try to work around what I did. It takes them time to do it so generally its not worth it. If someone changes what the bot does to get around my hack I can change my hack faster... at least, that's the plan. So if you see anything about WOW power gaming or ED pharma products, just ignore it. I will clean it up. I check the forum at least once a day unless something unusual is going on. |
