WTH is going on?
« on: June 09, 2009, 01:34:42 PM »
So the past week I have been actually keeping up with the forums and I guess there is a virus or something that keeps creating an account and spamming the usual crap that viruses do, quite frankly it's getting damn annoying.  Is there anything we can do?

Somehow spambots can pass the spambot killer and complete a registration I believe.  Now they can shit all over our forum.

I guess we could have the forum edited so its harder to make a profile, like captchas or something.

I think it might have something to do with the email verification.  I had perused these forums for a couple months without ever seeing any spam (before I joined as a member)  When I finally decided to join the forum, I wasn't able to because the email verification never arrived.  After lots of digging around I finally found an admins email and let him know I couldn't join.  He worked his "admin powers" and verified my account allowing me to post.

Shortly after I joined, like within a day, I noticed new members popping up left and right, as well as the beginning of the spam.  My guess is that they ditched the email verification since it wasn't working (for me anyway), but that's still just a guess.
