Temu Spam

[dvsDave]

Anyone else getting innundated with Temu coupon code spam? The last 2 weeks have been like a nightmare game of whack-a-mole.

I've got Cloudflare Pro, and I've been blocking ASNs and countries. I'm running Cloudflare turnstile, have manual spam rules, and all the Spam Management options running in an XF 2.2.17 environment.

it's just wild how much is getting through.

Wouldn't adding "temu" to the Spam Phrases block all of it from at least being visible to the public?

If you add temu.com in the spam phrase, it should stop it as well.

I'm currently having this problem and spammers are somehow getting through. One instance is them using temu.to as a domain. Still, I've added "temu' into the spam phrases and they are still getting through. I'm looking into how and why this is the case.

Fixed. Seems default creation of user groups at some point did not have the Bypass Spam Check option specifically set to "no" - so in theory, should work now.

That's what I have. Works very well. Also if you have first posts go for manual moderation it gets the few that get through.
