You should really do something about them, I have ideas easy to implement... anyway I feel they are coming more and more often and spam a lot more than a single post Angry

I concur. Doesn't give the site a good look

We already do... What you have seen is the tip of the iceberg, the few that passed all the defenses, about one per day (89 since January 1st) or 30/month. This pretty much the same as what we had over the last 9 months:

[attachment=9633]

We have seen better, we have seen much worse.

Under the water, it is 10k-20K spamming attempts/month that are outright rejected and that only appear as a line in the database.

So our defenses are IMHO quite efficient, and before I harden them, the other side of the coin is legit users who can't register for whatever reason (we also get irate or timid mails on the admin mailbox), so I have to strike a balance.

La critique est aisée, mais l'art est difficile...

And it's nice to see it.
