Sorry for the SPAM
Posted: Mon Sep 24, 2018 8:24 am
Hi everyone. Those who follow this forum probably got some notifications lately about some spammy posts. When you clicked the notification links those posts might have been already deleted, or not.
Actually it was some spammer in Ukraine. Not sure it was a bot but if it was, it managed to bypass Google's recaptcha and even my Q&A method. I had to block an IP range that affected a big area in Ukraine through .htaccess. So this may affect many genuine Ukrainian users bu I could not find any other effective solution.
Sorry for any inconvenience. We (I and Bill) try to keep the forum as clean as possible but sometimes it's hard.
