Hello Spammer; Goodbye Spammer !!
Re: Hello Spammer; Goodbye Spammer !!
The bots continue to swarm around the forum in ever increasing numbers, but so far are having little or no effect on response times. I missed their latest high count earlier this afternoon, when it reached a new record of 1631 !
Re: Hello Spammer; Goodbye Spammer !!
This afternoon, the forum suffered it's first SPAM attack in over 18 months. A newly registered member Bryanmark11 posted 16 posts in the space of two minutes - one in almost every forum section !! 
He stated his location as 'Sweden' but an IP location check showed London UK. Presumably he was using a VPN. I didn't bother checking all of the posts, but the couple I did skim read were about buying fake currencies.
Needless to say, I immediately banned the ID and all evidence of his visit was quickly deleted in a couple of keystrokes.
For good measure I also reported him to stopforumspam.com where he had recent history.
