There appears to be a few spambots that registered today.

It's not normally an issue because we can delete their posts, them,etc. But there have been at least 1 bot that I know of that has sent PM's to members.

The issue with this is they're obviously pretty hard to find, so if you get a PM from a bot please reply to this topic so I can remove the PM from the database and delete the bot.

I haven't got any on this site, but I've had a recent incident on RRR:

thank you, Grace.
The spambot was banned real quick, I check out her email on line and apperently it's someone trying to sell you something as a bunch of people got the same thing.

Oh, good for RRR :P Yeah this one was similar. But I only deleted like 7 records and made this topic as a precaution in case more spambots register. I found out how to temporarily stop them.
