The Pelican BOT Problem
I'm seeing a lot of malicious BOT activity here on Pelican lately. I believe this presents a security risk for users of the forums and should be addressed by administrators as soon as possible. The BOTS are linking back to off shore sites which never ends well. This would likely be resolved by adding a more advanced captcha/audio captcha for the new user enrollment as well as IP bans for current BOTS. I personally flag a couple BOT posts each day and noticed they seem to be more prevalent and repetitive... time for Pelican to act. What say ye?
The examples go to Russia - I tried to post the URL's here but the software changed them to hyperlinks which presents a threat of inadvertent clicking. The list has been removed but most return to ".ru" in some form or another.
