"bots" don't actually make the account, a human does it then the bot spams.
Most of the spammers who spam websites aren't even bots..

Actually there are some bots that do make the account. This is shown in example to the hundreds of spambots a forum can be invaded by, in seconds. (this is coming from another site I know of)

But yes, most spammers aren't bots, but there still are some which are, so might as well have them dealt with.

I would like to bring attention to this topic again.
The bot spam has increased significantly in the past few weeks, today I'm seeing a bot spamming a room over and over again at almost 11pm ET. Usually most of the bots are active only during the day (for me), and this shows that the problem is getting very severe.

Developers: If you don't add some sort of captcha protection to the game to deter the spambots, you may end up driving away players, losing them either to the annoyance of spam as a whole, or losing them to the pirate servers.
So please seriously consider this as a top priority.

And no, sending mods after this problem won't help, I assume even if a mod banned one of them, the script that controls the spambot would just obtain another IP, and continue making accounts. You have to put up an actual practical solution against them, and a captcha is the best option at this time.

Well the bots will still be a problem. All I have to do is create an account and then use the bot. But It would help a bit. /idk

what if your ip was banned?

However I do like how simple the registration form is - give a username and password and you can get going, this simplicity must make new players want to register so much quicker without any hassle that other games may give.
