What is a SpamBot? A SpamBot is a computer that tracks down different ProBoards websites in order to rapidly posts links to seemingly random websites. To see the effects of a SpamBot, just check around some abandoned ProBoards message boards, where the spam has built up from not being cleaned daily. Many IPs of these "bots" have been logged and displayed on this page to be banned before they become too big of a problem. However, it is not recommended to ban all of these IPs. Some innocent members or guests may share an IP as one of the SpamBots and wouldn't appreciate being banned. Trust your instincts and take into consideration the amount of "strikes," or number of times that IP has been caught spamming, when banning an IP.
