October 16, 200816 yr There have been several new registrations yesterday and today doing this. I've deleted all of the reported accounts and enabled admin validation of accounts. Let me know of any new accounts you get PM spam from.

Let me know of any new accounts you get PM spam from. Can you post the IP address (or addresses) where these attacks came from? Email addresses would be useful too. Thanks, ..Al
October 17, 200816 yr All reported accounts deleted. @AtariAge - no, we don't post that kind of information. I can say all of the new registrations are from email addresses ending in .ru, however.
October 17, 200816 yr We have been hit with a lot of spam, but so far no spammers using the PM system. The reason may be that I banned all e-mail addresses ending in .ru (Russia) after a previous spam attack.
October 17, 200816 yr I think due to this, we should get IPB 3 screenshots :D I'm lucky, no one sent me any.
