[QUOTE=OrDnAs;19706348]Why back in the "Old FP" there where bans that lasted 30 seconds or only 1 minute?[/QUOTE]
When the forums were moved from the old version to the lab version of the forums, which we're currently using now some things such as previous bans on the event log were messed up. A few other things needed to be edited to work with the new forums. Stuff like user titles were being cutoff in some cases etc.

How do these spam bots keep getting in? Don't we have a captcha requirement on sign up?
I'm all for changing the captcha, it's obviously not enough anymore.
Aye, I pointed it out a while back but they're still coming thick and fast.
I used to have spammers on my forums and i made various attempts to block them out by changing the captcha, it's fonts and everything. They also dynamically answered to posts and just had their filthy advert in their signature. The only thing that kept them out was blocking the mail domain they used.
What i'm trying to say: They might be human. I'm not an expert on the field of spam but it's just something i've experienced.
"What I'm trying to say is....
[I]they may be human.[/I]"
I don't know why but I imagined that to be read really dramatically

They are registered manually.

Well, it's simple enough to make an AutoIt program to go through the registration process for you, all it has to do is grab the URL of the captcha and place the picture on the GUI. Then the user types in the captcha, and the program does the rest.

Can't prevent that
The Mass Effect forum needs to be moderated better. I'm getting tired of people thinking everyone has Mass Effect 2 by now, and won't take the time to put which game series in their thread titles.
Members need to be banned for "misleading thread title".
For example, the thread title "Your ending (SPOILERS)", and inside is about the ending of Mass Effect 2.
I guess the (SPOILERS) thing should be obvious enough, but not alot of people have played the original Mass Effect, or are too lazy and want to know the ending of the original game, but instead see the ending to Mass Effect 2.
If you want something to be moderated, report it.
Are moderator elections planned anytime soon?

Also why do I always see thread titles ending in: ۞
So, why do the forums keep going down?

Informative information pertaining to the earlier downtime from @garrynewman:
[quote]Yes FP is down, I just woke up, looking into it now
about 2 hours ago from Tweetie
Seems to be working OK now. I don't know why it wasn't.
about 2 hours ago from web
[b]All fixed again - turned out to be a DDOS. 800 IPs banned..[/b]
26 minutes ago from web[/quote]
Some of the IP's banned include 80.36.255.171, 208.67.253.170, 208.77.151.82, 208.43.112.5, 201.228.188.218, 200.241.244.5, 196.207.3.99, and 60.195.143.7. Enjoy!
Most are proxies.
EDIT:
Yeah, garry posted a list with more IPs. I googled random ones and they all were proxy related. Good riddance that a shitload of proxies got banned. Less chance of it happening again.
