die, some spam!

If you haven’t browsed through fantom-stranger.com, I have a paste bin for directly pasting any text, into my site. Really handy for sharing text. It kind of an open security hole and recently, some bots have found it and taken the time to nestle in some content. Luckily I caught it before anything turned into a rash. The text-dump paste-bin has been updated and now employs recaptcha in attempts to narrow bot spam. This is my round 2 attempt as my first custom captcha didn’t stop any “inappropriate” content. I’ve also wiped the database to start a-fresh in “the text-dump pastes”, from this point forward. Bot spam will not be tolerated any longer and I will put harder captchas in place it comes down to that. Jerks.
