How you can tell bots on here.

[King Avallach]

Read profiles

1: They're all down as male
2: Their only console is a PC
3: Their favourite is the original DMC
4. They have no sig or avatar
5: Their name stands out for having being weird but not imaginitive. E.g. Byasho-mm
6. They have absolutely nothing about them in their profile.

If any matching this description introduce themselves in the introduction, best to ignore it.

Or you can go into the Admin CP and look at the email address they registered with and if unsure google it and can usually find if they are spam ones, fact that they never change their time zone. Or look into the Moderation queue and see the posts that they have made that no-one else can see but Staff Members.

I usually tell by checking some random forums - they usually always register with the same name everywhere and post exact copies of what they have put here. Not everyone changes their profile information so I don't always assume that all new people without a sig, title and detailed info about themselves are likely to be bots. If they have posted an intro in a really random place then that's usually a trigger...

Because, like some of you have said elsewhere, not all bots actually post bad stuff so it can be tricky to identify them. Most people who register here for real are prone to tell us more about themselves in their intro, or mention their favourite characters etc...

Also their user name is Vauxchen.

No offence, Vauxchen!
