mick2me 3,033 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 We had several hundred spambot registrations over the past couple of days. These were blocked by our security and submitted to Stop Forum Spam and Project Honey Pot This peaked at ten registrations per hour. Nottstalgia is one of the top contributors to Stopforumspam with currently 11,855 registrations blocked and submitted to them. Most registrations were from Russia, China or eastern europe. This one was from Poland. This is what happens with a popular forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 A big well done to katy jay and yourself for stopping this latest onslaught from the spambots. Still reckon it sounds like something that Dr. Who should take care of from the Tardis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 This Spambot user name only appears on our site when searched on Google? Also a good indication of how quickly new content is indexed on Google... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Braddy 160 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well done to all for stopping spambots, but why do they do it? and for what purpose, is it a game to them to bring down sites, they must live sad sad lives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Many of them are scripts and there is no logic to their activity. Some post links to sites that should never be followed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
