You should talk to N1K a.k.a NIM over @ Wincert, don't know what he did but spammers were reduced to nothing

However, you can look at my e-mail adress and you will see this name!

Part of this "anti-spam" measures taken involved deleting spammer accounts. If anyone finds any posts from the past year from a "Guest", make sure to mention them.

[MagicAndre1981]

I have the same issue in my forum. I manually approve the new accounts now to avoid spammers.

@Tripedacus

That means we can paste the spammer's names here ?

Right... forgot to mention that.

Update: Spammers are gone. No more spam.

Many thanks xper

Only if it says it is in the guests group, or has "Guest" as a prefix to their name. Some of the spammers that were removed may have posts that we did not find. So if you find some, you can post the post ID here or PM it to me and we will determine whether or not that post needs to be removed. But it is important if you find these posts from only the past year. If you go back far enough there are older guest posts but I am not concerned with those.

Not a single one. Sorry folks but couldn't manage this earlier. My apologies. Now to clean database and prepare for upgrade...

Is this what the outage was yesterday around 18:50 UT?

What's gonna change with the upgrade ( besides spam measures )?
