bfarber Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Can you post the IP address (or addresses) where these attacks came from? Email addresses would be useful too. Thanks, ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thus why I can't wait for IPB 3 so we can report profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE INTERNET Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I think we need images of IPB3. I too got the same PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Bear Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_anderson Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think due to this, we should get IPB 3 screenshots :D I'm lucky, no one sent me any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
