These bots keep commenting on my profile like, "How are you today" and "Where are you from" and "What's up mate". They all have names like "Bob123" or "John444". Care to give me a hand ACE?

We changed the settings so that unregistered users cannot comment user profiles. Has this happened recently?

Stalkers, trying to work out where you live and all.

EDIT: Appropriate video.

We banned a registered e-mail that created 4 accounts and was posting crap today. It didn't seem like a bot, but like a person. Hopefully with this dealt with, the posts stop.

Oh bollocks, it started again. Could you just ban people posting on my profile altogether?

I just removed the comment section on all member profiles. I searched a lot for other solutions, but I could't find nothing to prevent these bot posts...
I hope you do not have more problems Gentleman. Anything else just tell me! biggrin.gif
