Can swamper put in a temp block on ip of said spammers. I don't think any legitimate active members are from Uspamistan.
Sleepy mods and Black Friday are not a good combo. |

God, there two pages worth of spam, spam and spam. I don't think I've ever seen a vicious attack like this before.
Some of the pictures were hilarious though :p |

Can we make you our patron saint?
Seriously, you've been doing this before I was even born, and you're still here, protecting us from bot raids while you lurk in the shadows.
Blessings be upon you, Saint Neo of Sheffield! |

If they're all new users maybe put a recaptcha on signing up? Or at least disable sign ups until there's a solution.
I'm guessing we want to avoid using captcha on every single post :| |

| stopforumspam.com has a nice list to use for filtering. my forum runs xenforo with a built-in auto updating filter and I get like 2 or 3 join-attempts from bots every day. all of them gets filtered, not a single one has come through yet. maybe an idea. |
