Hello, After trying to fight this battle I am finally reaching out for help. My community has been spam free, and by that I mean ZERO since 2021 when it was started but for some reason on May 03 2024 it was like a lightswitch turned on and I had hundreds of accounts that seem as if they we're...

Hello everyone, I've noticed an increase in spam from old accounts over the past few days. These are accounts that haven't posted on the forum for many years. All the spam is advertising "Top-notch Casual Dating". After analyzing other forums, I've noticed the same thing happening there too...

Something I haven't seen until recently is new members signing up and after a few normal looking posts, start replying to discussions and adding link code in the quoted part of their responses. It's also setup so that it's not visible without viewing the code. So something to consider. Not sure...

How would I accomplish this? Would be a great help battling spam.

Hi, We configured "Maximum messages to check for spam" to 15, as with that amount of valid messages (i.e., not hanging in the approval queue) its highly unlikely that a user starts spamming, so the "Spam cleaner user criteria" setting was also set to 15 for similar reasons and because we...

Hi guys, I'm getting a bunch of spam posts by new users. Some of these messages include links so I decided to give the spam regex admin.php?options/groups/spam/ a try so that users with less than X posts can't use links. With no success. At all. The last thing I've tried is @Mike 's regex...

We switched over from VB to XenForo. I'm now sure how VB dealed with this, but there barely was a spam problem under VB and no manual action had to be taken against individual spammers. Now with Xenforo, there are a lot of new account registrations that XenForo detects because of matches against...
