Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know that since Saturday, the board has had an average of 300+ spam bot registrations.
This morning when I logged onto the board, I had to deal with 359 such registrations. That total is just from overnight. I check things about 3 to 4 times a day, with an average gap of 2-3 hours between checks. During each check, we typically receive about 50-100 new spammers trying to get onto the board.
None of these totals take into consideration what Transeau is able to filter out before they even have the chance to sign up. I'm certain that what he sees on his end is higher.
The drawback to this is that sometimes a real person who is trying to sign up, gets caught in our sweeps.
For that, I apologize. I know there are some new people on the board who had to contact me via the admins email account in order to finish their registrations; I am glad you were able to finalize your registrations and become a part of our community.
If anyone knows of a friend or someone on Facebook who is having problems signing up for the board, please let me know, whether it be in this thread or the PT Facebook page. I also belong to a couple of other Probe FB pages as well. Any private information, like email addresses, please share that with me via PM or through the admins email account.
Thanks for making this community what it is and sorry for any inconveniences.
