There's a lot of anti-spam on registration and they're still coming in. There's not much else we can do i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That prevent the bots from registering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That prevent the bots from registering Thanks, we've had them before and they still came through. I appreciate your input but battling spam is a topic we've been investigating for longer and unfortunately without success. We've been trying different combinations behind the scenes and they've all turned out to be useless. We even had a chat with CleanTalk - an anti-spam provider that supposedly gets rid of nearly 100% of spam registrations on the sign up form but they also have failed to deliver.

NikoCodey 15 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You guys still haven't tried KeyCaptcha, they do work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erza 124 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 As far as I can tell, the amount of spam has been reduced by at least 99%. There's a few that go through, unfortunately, but nothing crazy like it was before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinto Kagamine 85 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Do they come through even with Recaptcha2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erza 124 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well as our lovely Phun said in the shoutbox, the spam protection was accidentally left off. It's been turned back on, and we should see less to none spam bots signing up now. As always, report them if they still get through and we'll handle it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
