Usually, yeah, same here. It’s been the usual junk signup wave, then a couple days of quiet, then right back to the same bot crap. I’ve been hesitant to tighten registration too much too, because every time I’ve done that it just turns into annoying legit users for no real gain. The bots don’t exactly seem impressed by extra hoops anyway. What’s been helping a bit on my end is just watching the first-post patterns and nuking the obvious repeat stuff fast instead of trying to build a fortress around signup. Still a pain though. That’s how I look at it.
