Logged in to find 260 new posts, but only like 30 when I actually looked.
And our newest member has a long Russian name, which in my experience is usually a sign of spambots on non-Russian sites.
Also like 1.3 pages of unactivated members, some of which have variations on the same name or common spambot names of [commonfirstname][commonlastname].
Spambots have been a problem since I first put my servers online.
Most of the time its the same old advertising trash that never will learn. Effective countermeasures are in place to keep the administrative burden of them to a minimum.
If you did find a spot where they are getting through please tell me and I will recheck the permissions there.
Feel free to PM me if anything is broken
