Our WOWgoldenly Friends

Post by Rat Patrol »

Inder...

Think the problem here is that the site's got one of those old school CAPTCHA tests for registration...one of the ones that started getting cracked ages ago.

This free one's held up to the botnets so far: http://recaptcha.net/. They make a phpBB plugin that ought to swap out with the current one.



Either that or get the PornoCAPTCHA: http://www.boingboing.net/2004/01/27/so ... ating.html. I bet guy-on-guy would stop some unregistered guests, too. :shifty:

Google the words "spam" and "wowgold". It blew my fucking mind what a scourge that one piece of spam is on forums across the net. Literally...it's sending real money to buy fake virtual gold to cheat in World of Warcraft. That has got to be the dumbest fucking spam I've ever heard of in my life. I hated hardcore gamers enough before these clowns started showing up:

To be honest the World Of Warcraft players generally hate these bots more than we do.
There are people in-game who try and sell you gold as well.

These WOWgold douchebots remind me of the David Cross bit about pushy asshole guys:

I think I read that the success rate for spam mail is 1 in 1,000,000, but obviously that's good enough because spam isn't going away.

Can you even sell outside of the game? Because these fucknuts spam every single board in existence, not just the WoW messageboards.

I of course blame the nerd thread for this. One of you pizza-faced wonders gave us fleas from lack of bathing.

Don't look at me. I'm a comic book nerd, not a gamer nerd. Whole different ball game.

Yeah, and I'll only play mmo's licensed from classic properties like Lord of the Rings and Conan the Barbarian, I don't deign to slum it in Warcraft town with all the pseudo-nerds. So I can't be blamed. :shifty:

Course you can.
You send someone the real money & they send the Gold as a gift to your account.
