I can't believe that they haven't got a captcha (or similar) anti bot system upon account creation. I these spammy days, it's a must. And even more for such popular website. Anyway I bet this will be fixed in the following days. Afaik, most captcha system are crackable, and if not, will be in the next few months/year. Google has been working on a new captcha system: <a href="http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/04/socially-adjusted-captchas.html" rel="nofollow">http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2009/04/socially-adjusted...</a><p>This is kind of old, I wonder how it has progressed.

The correct link is this : <a href="http://github.com/ka891fqrxqn6au1/Download-Prophecy--Forsaken--The-movie" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/ka891fqrxqn6au1/Download-Prophecy--Forsake...</a>

I don't really understand why you would have your bot spam a site that's dedicated to developers and software engineers.

We're aware of the problem and sorry about the annoyance. It's a targeted attack, so normal solutions to prevent this aren't going to work. We'll figure it out, though.<p>edit: the spam listings should be gone within the hour.
