Spammer, Scammers and more Spammers!!!

[thereallyniceman]

I wonder if Classic Banjo is just too popular or whether all social network sites are bombarded with this sh*t?

Day after day after day I receive Membership requests. These two are within the last hour!

Would you approve them as members? ????????

[thereallyniceman]

I think that AI will cause even more problems when the spammers get the idea !!!

I do try my best to prevent any harm they could cause.

My thought on this is: those stupid kinds of answers deserve to be declined. It’s better to have quality than quantity. Again, that’s my opinion. 

[Jody Stecher]

I don't think these are actual people.  

[thereallyniceman]

Of course not!  They are spambots, but goodness only knows what their intent would be if they gained access. I have to be VERY strict on accepting new members as the bots do seem to be getting better. The standard "Captcha" does not deter them but "How many frets does your banjo have" causes trouble!

[Jody Stecher]

Yes it *would* cause trouble. Well done!  And.... thank you Ian for everything you do here.

Here is another chancerbot!

Would you let them in???????

[Joel Hooks]

If you keep blocking these then how are they going to tell us about their t shirts they have for sale?

[thereallyniceman]

Correct Joel, I will bear that in mind.

Has anyone else "have see the Benito of the site Banjo"?  It must be somewhere!
