Yes great forum. Could do without the WayneBlita stuff though.

Wayneblita? If you mean the spam I’ve changed captions several times and none of them are any any better and all are more complicated than the default which I went back to. AI has made it too easy with somebody that has native English capacity to defeat all protections.

Maybe we could use an AI forum bot that knows adult toys are not really related to Scope

I have thought about training an LLM on the material here so it's easier to query for answers. I haven't eliminated that idea...

One decade ago, I played with captcha solvers. Finding some given item within a series of pictures should be no problem nowadays, due to ai.
There are captchas, where you have to find on item, which doesn't fit to the other items shown. (e.g. boat, car, plane, spoon)
This would require a next level of understanding of concepts within ai.

There is both normal captcha and a series of questions. I rotate them periodically.

The real issue is that we are targeted, on that I won't say more but I think Nestor, GaryB and many others understand why such things can occur. I will continue to support this forum and you guys regardless of how my affairs play out.

[garyb]

thank you, but your affairs better play out well!

I agree, this forum is fantastic, but the WayneBlita spam is definitely annoying. It would be great if we could find a way to filter out that nonsense and keep the discussions clean.
