I was convinced the Question and Answer challenge was not working so I did an actual test (hint: I was wrong) We have an existing question and kept changing it. Then I realized spam was still bad so I did a test (from my post yesterday) and put random, non-brute forceable answers for the question I had.
Flash forward today and we have 10 new spam accounts and 1 real account. Went to the registration page and saw there was a "Sign in with Google" still. All of the new accounts (10 spammers, 1 real) were gmail accounts.
The problem is actually "Sign in With Google" and spammers utilizing that to bypass any security measures. We've disabled it now and will see how spam decreases but this really needs to be addressed by IP Board.
Also is there a way to change the registration URL? That would be another way to address spam.
SurvivalServers got a reaction from David N. in How to deal with spammers?
