Reply To: Spam bots are back again, seriously

Yeah, it’s been a pain here too. Not crazy volume, just enough to make the morning feel like busywork. To be fair, The “almost human” junk is the annoying part. At least the obvious garbage is easy to sweep, but the slightly less dumb ones waste time cause you actually have to look twice before nuking them. I’ve been seeing the same thing on a couple smaller sites too, so I don’t think it’s just your forum. Feels like they’re testing a bunch of half-baked stuff again and seeing what sticks. Which, great, because apparently we’re the ones doing QA for free.
