    [Forum] weird spam attack

    I'm getting hit with a TON of spam from a bunch of on line casinos and not sure what to do about it. In my inbox are a bunch of registration problem emails, and they are all from casinos (blackjack, gokkast, world casino online, 24option revue, to name a few). Not sure if I should just delete all these or if I should pull the ip addresses from them and put them in the ban list. Also not sure how to stop this. Anyone else having this problem?

    Do not pull the IP addresses. They are seems infinite.

      thanks beishe. one thing i dont understand is why i'm getting hit with a wave of these today. they are not successfully registering, and providing bogus email addresses. it's really just annoying.

        Your forum is most probably on the bots list as an easy target.
        Set up those Q&As and then you won't see those email addresses for a while.

        Are they returning again? Change your Q&As.
