toxicTom: Bot switched to a new user: lkjsgehwo
Well at least now you know how we've felt for last week... :-/
Ciris: I'd noticed SOME spam before, but I must've not encountered the forums that were as flooded by it - I'm in contact with support and the web team to figure something out, though. Hopefully, there'll be something we can do soon!
Could you please pass on a couple of suggestion for the techies?
-Many spam threads have no body, so blocking posts without a body would filter some spam without a chance of negatively affecting legit users.
-A CAPTCHA upon registration would prevent the bots from creating accounts, wouldn't affect the forums and it would be but a minor nuisance for new users (it'd take 10 secs to register instead of the current 5).
I assume they've already thought of that, but one never knows.
Thanks for finally acting on this matter, I hope y'all find a durable solution soon.
