About all the recent spam - jaybreak - 03-08-2019

I believe the bots are able to create accounts because they "figured out" how to answer the security questions during registration. A while back I had created custom ones instead of "What's 2 + 2?" which is MyBB's default, and the very obvious spam users virtually stopped coming into existence for a while. So we'll see how long it takes to learn the new ones.

Much as I hate dealing with the spam, I think we are doing a lot better than other forums I've seen.

For sure. I can't imagine the kind of stuff high profile forums deal with. Then again, they may have tighter security than here.
