Last three days I keep getting many new accounts with almost same IPs address and it's seems it's all coming from Russia and had one from Poland. Good news that IPS spam defence is working and doing it's job. Just that I had so many that I even merged three times already from five into one as they are the same IP.

I also blocked three IPs in the htaccess, but they always use VPN and bypass it. Just a pian in the butt 😛  I do not like seeing huge amount of spam flagged accounts.

Anyone else having the same? 

Yes, from past months there had been a huge increase in spam accounts. I just activated the question and answer feature when registering and it stopped.
