WTF is with all this overseas spamming

Post by PHIL069 »

It seams as though the flood gates have opened to overseas spamming.
We are being invaded by Russia.
Who invited them?

BTW, I hope no-one is stupid enough to click on any of their links or attempt to purchase their stuff. :pirat:

WHAT? That was spam? I just ordered 10 watches!!!

But seriously, it is getting pretty ridiculous. Each time I log on I see a new member has joined and what do you know, from a different country.

Perhaps it's time to change the security question :P

Another forum I belong too has the same issue. It should stop them for awhile.

Loggedin this morning to about 10 New people spouting sh*t in seperate threads. I'm assuming while Ben was away he made it so he didn't have to personally approve all applicants so anyone could join really.

Any one can join at any time, but I have a feeling they figured out the answers to the spambot security questions, so I've just changed them.
