OpenRA

Just something I noticed today just now...
These bots would join a server, spam ad messages for viagra or camgirls, then quit - too fast to be able to react to kick-and-ban. I was eventually able to see that one of them had a Finnish IP address, but I'll bet they're using Tor or some proxy service.

Indeed, this is a known problem that has started in the last few days. There are some ideas on how to address this, but it is likely to be a while before server hosts are able to roll out any direct fixes.

In the meantime, choosing to play on servers that require registered forum accounts should keep your games bot-free.

This is indeed an exhausting issue We need to have some sort of cool down on leaving a server right after joining it so hosts have the opportunity to ban spammers.

The spam prevention when you join a lobby is a great change!
