Reply To: Weird spam surge on my forum lately

Well, yeah, been seeing more of it too. Same old garbage, just a different coat of paint. At this point it’s usually either a bot wave or some bored lowlife with a script. I’d check the logs first before changing a bunch of stuff though — half the time it’s obvious once you look at where it’s coming from. And yeah, don’t go nuclear unless you have to. Making real users jump through hoops because some spam farm got busy is always a fun way to kill a forum. Interesting take.
