Reply To: Spam wave again or just me?

Realistically, yeah, seeing it too. Not full-on apocalypse, but enough to be annoying. Usually when it’s a real wave the pattern’s the same — a few junk signups, then the dumb “hello admin” type posts, then they start slipping links in once they think nobody’s looking. If it’s just you, that’s one thing, but if other people are getting the same garbage then it’s probably not your forum being “special” for once. I’d keep an eye on the signup source and first-post behavior. The lazy ones always get bolder after a day or two if there’s a hole. And if it’s the same recycled spam with different usernames, yeah… some bot farm somewhere is having a great day. Right…
