We've just had the first spam bot in our history show up in the last 10 minutes; someone's either worked out how to automatically pass the registration captcha (some horrible video advertisement now) or just done it manually. Unfortunately, there's no useful defence against this; email verification can be done automatically, and there's not many ways to tell the difference between a bot and just a random user appearing if they register without any attached information for manually approving users to keep them out, so we're just gonna have to zap them when they appear.

If one does appear, please jump into the Internet Relay Chat and ping me (by saying my name in the chat) about the new bot.

In the meantime, meet moyuyan.

Our new pet evidently needs a nickname, any suggestions?

We now also have a captured bot named "momoyan". Maybe they should have joint nicknames. :P

Can we change the bot's group from "Duplicate" to "Spambot," "Bot," or "Pet?"
