The ongoing war on spam - onealexleft - 04-30-2014 05:27 PM

Just wanted to let you guys know I've added another security measure to forum registration:
security questions.

basically really easy questions that are required before continuing. The first measures of trying to stop mass or fast registrations didn't do much.

I'd like to monitor the effects of the new plugin before piling on anymore anti-spam initiatives. Thanks for your patience!

Looks like the current spammers on the board joined yesterday, so possibly before the new plugins were added. Hopefully once the current batch get banned, the spam will start to go away.

Why is it in the Outwitters forum?

Maybe spam bots are now sending random friendlies to everyone.

Maybe even in 2v2s.

Probably because there's no "General OML" forum.

Spam has all but killed the Hero Academy forum, so your attention to this matter is welcome.
