There's a spammer in the works.

The number of spambots that seem to have been coming through in the last few weeks is phenomenal.  

It doesn't seem that long ago that there were 4, 5 or six a day...(at most)...There now seem to be anything up to 40 !
And why they use such ridiculous randomly generated monikers is beyond me.....Even yours truly can tell those are fakes.

Cheers - Phil.

Yeah, I need to have a chat with Matt about that and see if we can put some extra checks in place for new members.  I think we should be able to add a check question, so something like 'What scale are Pendraken miniatures?' with 10mm, 75.2mm and 195mm as the answers, or something like that...!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ohh I know the answer to that one!!!

[d_Guy]

Well we all know that it is 75.2 but wouldn't intelligent bots have the same information?

How about

The Pendraken Forum is:

a) The answer to all my problems
b) The last refuge of a scoundrel
c) A wretched hive of scum and villainy
d) This is a trick question isn't it?

does 1/144 equals 10mm ? 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

There or there abouts me thinks.

1/144 (or 1/150 or 1/160) is approx 10mm scale and 140 is the max number of characters in a Tweet so 144 seemed appropriate for a jokey post..

That did seem a lot even though most people are not that active.
