Screening the BOTS?!?

[Wifey]

There are countless bots on here constantly. They outnumber the members and guests by far. I don't know what bots do but I'm sure it's nothing positive

Can these bots be filtered out? They sign up as members and create profiles -

Anything and everything. At least they don't post stupid shit lol.

Bad actors with nothing better to do I suppose. Of all the things to cyber attack (even mildly), a car forum seems (to me) to be an eminent waste of time.
