vBulletin Getting Hit Hard by Spam?

[cKVinoth]

Is it just my board or all yours too? I'm getting stupid replies to topics like "Buy WoW gold" or "Level up your WoW" Now Warhammer is in the action as well... ughh I'm starting to hate this.

Yup, and there are many ways to prevent it too

I had to shut both my sites registration down due to spam last week, as i could not keep up with it.

Just this morning i upgraded to vB 3.8.0 b1, and using reCAPTCHA.

If that don't resolve the problem, i will use the human verification "question and answer method"

I wish i could somehow use both..

My thank you's too ALL the vBulletin team for doing such a great job - keep it up. :)

Thanks for that extra layer of security, and thanks for moving my post about this from yesterday. I'm glad it isn't just me, and I'm disgusted that it isn't just me...

Regards...
