Can we just ban the spammer's whole IP range?

[Takatsuki]

I did that on an old forum I ran and it stopped the daily spam bot we got.

Or lock down sign-up of new account for a few day?
Or get more mods from different time zone?

[Atmius]

Just do what they do on that other forum, and have first post require approval.

[Stickboy]

my god, this bot pushed the rest of the thread to page 3

[Totori]

Or get more mods from different time zone?

^ This is what is prolly needed.

Banning IP ranges is rarely, if ever, a good solution.

[Agastya]

banning an ip range sounds like a great idea that couldn't possibly have any negative side effects at all

These botnets work with VPNs, wouldn't work anyway.

(Poor Sayara, one hell of a cleanup to do)

[Maenara]

Sayara has an easy cleaner button for bots like this.

I know, still not a pleasant sight to see as a mod once you log in, for sure.
