wow much spam

(1/1)

Floyd:
in the last three days a few thousand spam posts and nearly 200 spam accounts joined the forum. that is the most activity i've had on here since 2012. i ended up just restoring a backup of the database from july 2, as nothing had changed since then. now im actually going to have to fix the antispam system.

Clasurol:
You should look into getting email verification, you'd see less spambots.

Floyd:
i had that once, but the email server i had set up was very unreliable. im thinking of just having as one of the questions "go to [some other place on the website] scroll to the bottom of the page, copy and paste the random string of characters into the answer box." that would probably stop most of them
