Div Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 You'll have noticed a prolonged period of spammers registering and clogging up the forum, mostly overnight, for the past few weeks. We've made some changes today to try and combat these fuckers. Appreciate your patience and thanks to the modding team who have been cleaning up the mess every morning! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I've made some further changes. We've been through this many times before. We beat them then and we will beat them again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still some lingering accounts from previous days that were able to post today (that carnage was caused by just two accounts) but over the next few days we will catch any that remain. Any new accounts must go through a manual approval process with us in the meantime so we will catch the majority of them and the overnight attacks will stop completely as there will be nobody to validate the accounts. All in hand! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 But spam happens, Div! Especially on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night we had 14 spam account registrations that got through despite Cloudflare security blocking certain countries from the site, Re-Captcha validation and a Question & Answer challenge on the registration form and the automated anti-spam intelligence scoring which is built in to the forum software. They got through all of that and would have been able to post had we not introduced manual approval on all new accounts. It’s a pain in the arse for us and for proper new users wanting to use the forum but for the time being anyway that’s what we will need to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
