Reply To: Spam bots are back again today

I mean, in my opinion, honestly, yeah, same here. It’s never really gone, it just goes quiet for a bit and then comes back like clockwork. What’s helped me more than IP blocking is making the signup a little less “clean” for bots without annoying real people too much — stuff like a decent honeypot and slowing down repeat attempts. IP blocks alone always felt pretty useless to me, especially with all the rotating junk. If it’s getting bad, I’d also check whether they’re hitting the profile fields after registration or during it. Sometimes that’s the part that needs the extra filter, not the form itself.
