Reply To: Spam flood after latest update?

Technically, yeah, I’d stop trusting the plugins first honestly. Had one setup where the “anti-spam” stuff was basically just letting the obvious junk through after an update, and it looked like the site was suddenly getting hammered when really the filter just got dumber. If it’s fake regs + junk replies at the same time, I’d check the whole signup/post path, not just the moderation settings.
