We require confirmation from a senior member before allowing new posts to show from new accounts in the forum, don't we? The past few weeks we've been getting posts from bots in areas all over the forum. It's not a pandemic thankfully, but maybe we need to keep our eyes open a bit more if this is the case. Please correct/inform me if I'm mistaken.

I've brought this up before, lol. It's called post moderation.

The actual system in place is reasonable enough though. The captcha used here (sortables) is pretty much impossible for a bot to correctly solve (or a random one anyways).
