You can configure it to use proxies, this won’t work. Only RECAPTCHA works.

I think the recaptcha will not work for long. If they can break the first one there going to be breaking them all.

What pligg owners should be thinking about is a way to get the owners of this tool to raise there price a lot more then it is. 189 is cheap for what it can do so what needs to be done is it put out of reach for the average person. Reducing the amount of spam your getting may be the best thing.

I can 100% confirm this tool does not require a god account like was suggested, PliggNZ maybe you should buy the software then at least you wouldn’t have to post weak reports and simple suggestions with no factual or practical basis. Either get the facts straight and do your own research or reserve your comments for inside your own skull where they would probably be most appreciated.

You also say reCaptcha cannot be broken search google ;), even if reCpatcha was 100% secure it wouldn’t matter as you can bypass the entire pligg registration process by using a pyCurl script

I didnt see the problem there, the example story was a legit story. I saw some increase in my pligg powered sites, but nothing spammy, normal stories. If the stories are not spam, i really don’t understand what the problem is.

I have been looking into this tool and it dosent use the god password.

It just posts to pligs like a normal user.

The coding in it is good but it looks like the guy who wrote it made it work slowly rather than hit the sites too fast.

A better capture will fix this because the professional seos in those sites dont want to hit live sites.

If this makes pligg better and someone actually continues the development we have a lot to thank these toolshed guys for.

Sometimes we need a small slap to wake us up and stop us getting lazy.

There’s a report that AutoPligg needs the “God” user account with default password to do those things. If it’s true then you can simply block it by changing your default “God” password.

@Lincoln
You should have bought and tried the software first before making your post. Or if it’s your own software, then you should have tested it fully before making such crap.
