Lotta users registering for this forum.

No new posts.

Seems that captcha was a good idea huh?

Kinda wonder if they could be a security risk, even if they have no access to anything...

But seems all they can see in wp-admin is a very empty Jetpack.

And it even prevents you from connecting a WordPress account!

So enjoy the useless accounts bots 😛

All accounts without a post will be deleted btw.

The important thing seems to be preventing member pages from being indexed.

Since they seem to be trying to use them as advertisements...

 

Now if only I could prevent the registration itself....

Trying out Anti-Spam by CleanTalk and that seems to be working quite well so far.
