Based on what I've observed the spam seems to be coming from a single source. Blanket-banning a country or two isn't an option either, given how there are some legit users from China.Exophase wrote:The bots already wait after registering before posting.. and the last thing I want to do is punish anyone for not knowing Pokemon :/
Oh, and how about this? What if we move to PHPBB3 (well since this site appears to be running on 2.x) or better yet MyBB? Not sure how that would fare migration-wise, but in my case I never had any spam troubles ever since I used a spam blacklist mod.
