Is anything going to be done about the spam bots in OT?

[Merlin]

Appreciate it! Man, is there a way to limit the number of new threads a new account can post in its first day? Or implement more controls to dissuade spammers from joining in the first place?

We're looking into options to get ahead of spambots in the future. Mybb appears to have limited anti-spammer features, so for now, the admin has limited the number of posts for regular users to a max of 20 per day. Unfortunately, that change also affects regular forum members as well. I know there are some folks on the board who post that much per day, but this is a good stop-gap measure until a better long-term solution is found.

Upon reflection, I agree I was too quick to praise Merlin and am now disappointed that he didn't use magic, the jerk.

Bah, using magic is too easy. What is life without a little challenge now and then?
