I noticed recently that there are a lot of spambot sign ups. I am the owner of an SMF forum and I can tell if a username is a spammer or not. I noticed a username that was suspicious so I clicked onto the profile. It turned out that it
was a spam bot. I noticed multiple spam bots. When I had my SMF Forum, I had about 8 or 9 bad sign-ups a day. I posted a few links below to a few of these users. I installed Project Honeypot onto my forum and helped bust 12 spammers. It also blocks these bots from even viewing the forum. I posted info on Honeypot below. I also posted the links to the users that are spam bots.
