Title: Spammers
Post by YaBB Administrator on 11/07/11 at 10:43:30

The spammers are very busy with forums at the moment. For the past month there are about 10-20 requests for registration every day.

Apologies if some legitimate requests get declined. Please try again.

Part of my daily ritual now is going through the forum registrations. Usually a dozen or so now but was over 30 at one stage. I then add the ip address or address range to the block list. Russia, Ukraine and China are particularly blocked.
95% of the traffic to this site is forbidden currently.

As Bob just found out, you may find one day that you get a 403 forbidden error. If you do send me an email with your IP address and I will unblock you.
