    Interesting that today I received a SE Asia member on a closed forum I am a member/Admin on. I moderate new members so it was ban and delete.

    Thank you again for the info augiedoggie

    Ya BOOMM, I'm a mod on a phpBB forum and we've had quite a few new registers since Oct. 1st and making innocuous type posts to which other members helpfully respond to with links.

    This is from a recent story from Ars Tecnica on having cheap labour to beat the captcha on Gmail and Hotmail. I can't wait for the other shoe to drop!:crap

    Thanks for the link, Augie - I mentioned the article on the other forums I visit, and it prevented a mod from going AWOL. :)
