My criteria for bots nowadays: * really weird names. * links to spam sites in their signatures. * has less than a minute spent online. * Is still validating. You get two out of four, i ban you, no questions asked.

I think it's doing a good job so far, with only a few (to none) bots bypassing the email system. Still annoying as hell to see those bot accounts register though. |

| Ok, they were just somewhat delayed, but they're there now in the spam box. |

The confirmation mails not coming through might just be a symptom of a bigger problem: the board (or server) isn't sending out emails properly. I've been diagnosing it for the past three hours trying to find a combination of settings that work, but still no luck. Has anyone received any sort of mail from RR recently? EDIT: If you want to help me test, and if your account here is not tied to your RR email, here's what you do. 1. Go to your User CP, and go to Edit Options. 2. Check the "Notify me by email when I receive a new Private Message." option. 3. Send yourself a PM. 4. Check if you receive a notification in your personal email address. |

| The whole yahoo problem is being looked into. But for now, I suggest to just use gmail for registering. |

Oh, is it? I've just attempted to register with my Yahoo! account on the oekaki board. It seems to be having problems. May you look into it please? |

An update on this persistent issue. While @yahoo.com email accounts are still being blocked by the board for some weird, unknown reason, if you use the @ymail.com domain the confirmation emails get to and from your inbox. I'm currently not aware if @yahoo.com and @ymail.com accounts are one and the same (my tests are inconclusive as of this point), but at least those wanting to register have a workaround. |

Consistent with the problems we've been having, it was a Yahoo! mail account. I should probably start asking the webhost questions too... |
