I posted this in our mods/admin private forum and no responses so,
All the new members are spammers
Since August when the Admin brought the number of members back to 769,
I have watched every day these new members sign up and then spam advertise.
I checked IP's and the are all from China, Japan, India, Pakistan, South Korea, and Ukraine. I have banned about 200 since August. Spoke with Mitch a couple of months back, and he was able to get some too...
Now this last week, I wrote to the Admin, and haven't heard back yet.
It is getting worse with these as many have the same IP address as well.
After going to bed and now getting on the forum this morning, I see the amount of these has increased from 1,085 to 1,098 whereas before it would be 1 or 2 a day. I am away from the computer for 2 hours and now another dozen since the previous dozen.
wtf and why are they coming on signing onto our forum.
Can't vBulletin put a stop to these? Most have some wild form of letters and dot. @ hotmail.
Maybe more of you guys can also try to stop them.
I decided to do this thread today after seeing how many came on overnight and all day today.
