Oh creating user id as well?Think about it .. how long would it take you to build a bot that could do that with your Selenium framework? Dude, I could do it in an afternoon. Worst case. Finding is different. There's some sort of entry point involved, some set of target sites, but that's gonna' be mostly scraped as well, and the forum provider gives a list anyways.
edit: also, notice how this was posted as a guest, so the bot didn't even have to create an account. One thing you can do is to limit posting to members by not allowing guest posts in the admin settings. |

That's surely possible. It's a two minutes job, I agree. But the person who has done this has done it only once. He is repeating it. That's good idea. I have noticed this in ST. |
