TOS QUESTION

That stupid chinese bot just posted on my forum now i know the procedure guys ive been telling peoolpe it.

Delete the threads
Make it so your guests arnt allowed to post,

All sorted but with this thing posting in a different language are we getting any closer to fixing this thing, i heard martin or craig was dealing with it but there hasnt been any info posted about the progress of it,

Also if these threads are on our board are we violation the tos of proboards or are proboards staff making an exception in cases where it is the chinabot posting

At this point all you can do is what you said. Delete the messages and unable guest posting. If the content posted by the Bot violates the TOS, yes. You are responcible to remove it
