I have a site that creates profiles. I originally created a bot to create profiles. I also invited some guests to create bots on their own. Anyway, I am no longer using the bot and guess what? I have bots making fake profiles, undesirable, on the site. I paid a programmer to impliment user system which disallows creation of profiles without usernames but it diddn't work. I don't remember the page now there's bot that's messing with site. Is this problem easy to get rid of? How can I determine how to stop the bot from creating profiles? Thanks for your time.
In order to get proper help, you would need to post more info on exactly what the bot does and how it creates the profiles. Does it pass Captchas? Does it work all day? etc
I don't have captchas. I don't know where which page the bot is comming from ? I believe it was from one of the old page that I built in the beginning and didn't delete the page. Now I have lost track of which page it is. ...No idea which page.... So I wouldn't have a clue as to how the bot create profiles.
I had the same few months ago and fixed using .htaccess. See How to get rid of bad bots crawling my site
