A day without blood is like a day without sunshine!
Could the admins sweep the advertising forum every day or two and ban the daily bots that I keep suspending for 20 years?

Do they ever post again with the same account?Not that I can tell. But I haven't been scanning thier IP addresses.
The sometimes use the same ip or same email domain address (like @vaserv.com). When I find those, I ban them.
Perhaps the name "Advertising" has to go, as it might attract bots.
The bots are going to post somewhere, and advertising is probably the best choice. Can't you stop them from registering by restoring the picture thingy?
The picture thing is broke?
I heard it used to be. Maybe it got fixed, but then how do bots register?
I see images change all the time on other sites so my guess is that programmers adapt their bots to recognize commonly used image generators.
The picture thing was never not required to register. Remember the one time it was broken because it wasn't installed in our build of PHP and people were complaining that nobody could register?
Oh... so you just nulled the picture thingy?
No. It's always been there and it is now. What isn't getting through to you guys?

So it's "there"... but not really working?
A picture can't get rid of actual people registering for their bots.
If an actual person was doing this, he wouldn't need a bot.
