Had my first spam bot today!

xF has had a really good track record, I have been running 2 forums for months without a single spam bot but one finally showed up. Hopefully this isn't the start of a flood of them (they were the reason I got so fed up with SMF 2.0). Anyone else see any spam bots?
 
Well made Q&A's can stop them a ton, except you'll still get those pesky human spammers ;p
 
What I've realized is that all the spammers registered are actually human beings who are paid to spam the forums. :mad:
 
The newer revised RECAPTCHAs have proven a bit more difficult to crack. Google has been adding inverted shading to the RECAPTCHA
