Is it possible for spider to bypass Captcha and Moderation?

Only because upon looking at ip address:66.249.66.17 I saw a result of
66.249.66.17   Guest   8: Undefined offset: 507
?action=post;board=2.0   Today at 11:58:39 and upon clicking on the link that appeared I was able to post and bypass captcha.

A who-is lookup for that Internet Protocol address (66.249.66.17) shows that it is associated with Google.

Are you running 2.0 Beta 3.1? I'm unable to replicate this issue on a test forum running 2.0 Beta 3.1 / 4
Can you provide us with a normal user account to look into this?

Do you have google ads on pages.

If so as you are browsing, google spider is checking them out (for adsense, not indexing purposes)

Yeah it is version 3.1 I will setup an account as I am curious there have been more then a few things that have been going on that bother me but as I do use some adsense that could be part of it.

You'll also find that even if the spider happened upon that URL it would have been presented with the login screen.
