Spam Bots and CAPTCHAs

I always wondered why the support forums of phpBB and PHP-Nuke are free of spam. Yes, there is a number of moderators, but bots work faster than people and they are never tired. Recently I stumbled upon the “don’t spam here” list of XRumer (the best spam bot) and realized it all:

The industry-leading spam bots don’t spam the developers’ forums! That’s why the developers don’t know that the spam problem is so important to users. That’s why the developers don’t improve the spam protection.

I’ve looked through the black (hmm… white?) list and decided to highlight some sites:

phpbb.com — the official site of phpBB.

phpnuke.org — the official site of PHP-Nuke.

paypal.com — good idea. XRumer users shouldn’t not be banned by PayPal.

lorelle.wordpress.com — Lorelle on WordPress, she has written thousands of articles on WordPress, blogging and other topics.

spamhuntress.com — don’t spam here, otherwise you’ll get caught and punished!

bbspam.com — this blog. I think they wanted to write “bbantispam.com” instead, but were misled by the tight connection between these two projects. In any case, thanks to Advanced Textual Confirmation, both are free of spam.

kremlin.ru — the official site of Russian president. Who want to punish KGB?

Here is the full list:
