Prove I'm not a spambot

Why does it say "prove I'm not a spambot-Tele" in my about me? Thanks

so that you can post here and not be dumped when the server refreshes itself. post a location, you'll be fine. btw, welcome to the party. beer's in the keg..............

When you registered, you were asked to prove you weren't a spambot by entering the word "tele".

Your "about me" section just shows you passed the test!

Thanks Gentlemen. I'm a learnin'

I hate Schertz - sorry bud. It's so close to Selma that I always get speeding tickets there.
Bandera? Now you're talkin'! That was the coolest party town back when the track was open.

"spam bots" which are really computers that memorize our software's registration process spread out across the web joining forums so that they can come back later and post spam posts.

Many forums are not protected and they aren't moderated so the spam gets spread around the globe very fast. Google indexes the spam links and this make the spam domains not only more successful but of great worth if the domain is sold.

We throw in a questions that the "bot" doesn't understand. Hence the "Prove you're not a Spam bot" and the requirement to type the word "tele" in all lower case letters.

Now, it's becoming more common for forums to do this, so many heads up spammers hire people for pennies a day in 3rd world countries to manually register at forums. Behind the scenes of running a forum its a never ending process of finding, removing and banning spammers from around the globe.

Nice to see Garytelecaster back it's been nearly 2 months.

Sorry Gary, some local lingo there. Reading it as an outsider I now realize it didn't make much sense. Selmatown is the speedtrap that Steve Earle sang about and there used to be a great horse racing track in Bandera.

Absolutely, great to have the man from Minnesota back.

Even if he doesn't know where Bandera is.

I like Bandera. I stay at Lost Maples S P up that way when I'm in that area.
