Reply To: Spam bots back again?

Yeah, I’d check the logs before blaming “bots” like it’s some grand invasion. Last time this happened on one of my sites it was just one dumb registration route getting hammered, and it made the whole place look way worse than it was. If it started right after the plugin update, that’s probably the first place I’d look too — same IPs, same user agent junk, same weird signup pattern, whatever. If it’s actually fake posts too and not just signups, then yeah, something’s being abused. From my experience, But I’m not buying “bot wave” until we see it repeating in the same spot. Den’s right for once on the logs part. At least from what I’ve seen.
