For example, that fucker wants to rank his WoW goldselling site. Best way to beat this bullshit is to add "If you are a human, what color is your shit" something very random that everyone knows the answer to.


Speaking of which...

Anyway, most of these posts appear to be from real humans anyway so I don't know how well a humanity-verification question would work. For the time being, I'd say it's not a big enough issue to be worth the effort of stopping it.

Edit: Although, as a thought, perhaps we could disable signatures and links for anyone who doesn't have, say, 10 posts? I'm sure there's a vB addon out there that does this.
