Cam chat malfunctioning?

I've notice recently that the chat room suddenly has dozens of people in it, none from this site, then reverts to normal.

We recently opened up the Cam Chat to include also guests. I thought that there might be indecisive or shy users that wanna check out their spandex fantasy through an anonymous taste. to me this looks like bots try to "raid" a chat room and try to spam websites into it (maybe these messages get removed from the cam chat). I will add bot detection and the need to do a captcha upon entering as a guest.

Update: Additional checks have been added to guest users only. Please let me know if any weird events happen. Worst case we have to remove guest access entirely and only allow SP members to enter the chat room. Cheers!

now it's working properly, thanks for the hint. I'd say let's give it another go for guest users. otherwise we pull the plug on guests for cam chat.
