I know that guests can't send emails through the forum, but one of my member's recently pointed out to me that in the Currently Active list, there are indeed a lot of guests who are "Contacting member via email" Is that actually possible? I don't think it is, but I suppose it's worth asking. Would that status come up if a bot had tried to use the email form, and been left looking at the error message page perhaps? :unsure: |

Idk, but to be sure, I'd suggest making a separate members group, that looks exactly the same, but you can't send emails till after an allotted amount of posts. Bot's can't really post without being obvious enough to delete ^_^. |

You are correct. They may show up as using the e-mail, PM, posting in X forum....whatever....but what is happening is that they tried to, but are getting an error message. |
