Reply To: Spam wave on my forum again

Yeah, same here. It’s been a constant drip lately, not even the usual “one bad day” thing. If they’re getting past moderation, I’d check whether they’re all coming from the same IP ranges / email patterns. Half the time it’s the same junk with slightly different names, which is just annoying more than clever. I’d also tighten anything that’s too easy to brute-force through, because once they find a weak spot they keep hammering it. And honestly, if you’ve got any of those “easy signup” plugins or old form stuff lying around, I’d nuke it. 40 in a morning is ridiculous though. That’s not random, that’s somebody’s little bot pile. At least lately.
