user "offen0653" seems to be a spambot on this forum, "he" wrote this reply to my post: Microtonal MIDI Pitcher (with pitch bend)

Thanks for reporting that, I've banned the account and delete all posts.

Just so you know there's a little "!" you can use on every post to report it. In future just report it like that with a comment like "suspected spambot" ect... and I'll delete the post and ban the account.

Cheers 😉

i don´t know how these spambots work but what about a captcha code? it could be for example only for the first ten posts on this forum or something.

i found an interesting article about that but i do not understand all the stuff. if somebody is interested in how to stop spambots and how captcha codes work here is the link.

or easier a simple math task like "what's 3+4" - also often used.

i just saw the best text-captcha at ubuntuforums.org: a random text question like "How many ears does the average human have?" 😉

anyway it really seems as if captcha code is the best solution to stop spambots at the moment. perhaps this ist thre beginning of a spambot-free future! 😮 free the forum! 😀 😀 😀

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Delete this reply?

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.

    Report this reply?

    Only the developer reads reports. The person isn’t told who reported them.

    What’s wrong with it?
