Recent spammer plague

Post by Raegen Keenarrow »

While spam from a can does taste good, it doesn't mix well for advertising. It's frustrating... so with that said. I'm just wondering what's been up with all the recent spam accounts about kitchenware and furniture etc? Looking at the last 2 possibly even starting on 3rd last page with #1045 acooddedofer65 in Members is plagued with these spammer accounts created same day, hours or minutes apart. All except for Coock89, nuhan and vessacokid start with the letter "a" before the name. Maybe we need to stop auto-mated forum creation or something to stop these bots? You wouldn't think it looks attractive to new players that might find their way to these forums.

It may not be that big of an issue to others. It turns me away from the forums though as I have a tendancy to get browser-jacked all the time and I don't want the possibility of having something like that done just for coming to these forums.

Good day! : )

Trust me, I hate it more than you. Having to delete all the posts and ban all the accounts. Have sent messages to Irming to see if we can implement a captcha or at least disable account creation temporarily.

This should hopefully be resolved for the moment.
