roopurt18 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Does anyone know if the robots used to spam websites accept cookies or not? Just curious. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/76110-fighting-spam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I guess it depends on what kind of robot it is. If it is a robot designed to register, login and post spam then I suppose it would, but for robots which harvest email addresses I don't see why they would need to use/support/accept cookies.

roopurt18 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 For a blog that is highly inactive, mine receives a ton of spam. I don't believe in imposing extra steps on the user like CAPTCHA or math problems, so I'm trying out a few things to fight it. In addition, my goal is to not really touch the drupal code. I've already put up my first line of defense and no spam yet.
