Spam filter

[400bird]

Looks like someone found a way around the bot filter checks, there's pages of this garbage from multiple log ins

It just shows how much crap is floating around on the net. Will got it fixed quickly

I suspect the reports list kind of got flooded this evening. I know I put in for all three of the ones I saw.

Somewhat curious how many posts they managed to get in before it was dealt with. I saw the first bot up over 500 before I walked away from my computer.

Another run seems to have just started.

Both https://diysolarforum.com/forums/diy-solar-general-discussion.2/and https://diysolarforum.com/forums/beginners-corner.52/ are flooded...

Thumbs up to @Will Prowse for keeping this forum pretty clean so far, with all the spam nowadays this will require some time and efforts!

Did you report the two users? Probably not much need for multiple reports on something as clear cut as that, and I've already done so, but I don't think Will and the mods will object to multiple people reporting. With forum software that has such a report feature, there's a reason it exists: it provides a separate channel and notification stream for important things.

They probably just need mods in different time zones ;·)
