Tapatalk and other companies really need to be proactive in figuring out how to combat bots and the like.

Someone, also, mentioned IP addresses earlier, and it’s not like it once was, especially with phones. Almost every time someone logs in or connects anymore the get assigned a new IP on the cellular network. IP blocking works great for static computer login where your landline home internet pretty much keeps the same IP, but with so many using cellular options and VPN’s, it becomes virtually impossible to block the IP.

Leon has done a great job over the years, but it’s just becoming so much harder for small outfits to keep a handle on it. I don’t know what the solution is, other than individual policing of users, which Leon pretty well does now. It’s becoming almost a full time job, I’m sure. It’s a shame there are so many bad actors out there anymore.

Leon doesn't have to go at it alone. There are members who would happily moderate the forum for him. I would have no problem myself doing it unpaid. And I'm sure others are the same. I know how he runs it, politically neutral and loose (meaning to get banned you really have to really be a jackass). He just simply has to make a few people moderators and tell them, you can only ban bots and scammers.
