I'm surprised vbulletin doesn't have a way to stop or at least slow spambots. I noticed one spammer recently had posted the same on several sites and all but one was "powered by VBulletin" Granted the majority had been banned and deleted. It seems like there should be a way to prevent a lot of them from even registering, let alone posting.
Since it has been so long since I registered, I don't know if there is a captcha or something called a "honeypot" that catches some. I find it kind of frustrating to do a search within QB when I'm not signed that I have to do a captcha. Although, I usually like to do google searches for some things as it will take me to the page of long threads, rather than the result within QB, just gives the thread.
