      Dear Lucas

      Well If you down vote spambot posts I do not see them quicker. Same when you flag them for moderation. I look into the forum every day nearly every hour and I guess Graham does so as well. It may help if you notify us. Either way, thanks for your help.

      Best Michel

        Great! Thanks for the info. I'll not downvote or flag spambot posts from now on. I'm certainly not looking to complicate your job or waste anyone's time, so thanks for letting me know what's helpful and what isn't. I was flagging them because a while ago there was an outbreak of spam posts in what I believe would have been the wee hours of the morning for you and Graham, so I contacted @Dusx and asked him what I should do. He told me to contact either you or Graham and flag the spam posts for moderation, and that he would do the same, which is why I started doing that. Thanks for all of your hard work keeping the forum shipshape :)

        Best wishes,

        Woland (Lucas Wilson-Spiro)

            Dear All,

            We're actively testing solutions. We just don't want them to break the whole forum, so we need to be methodical about. Thanks again for your patience.

              May as well capitalize on the situation though, right?

                    Dear All,

                    @Michel and our programmer Tobias have installed tools that will hopefully end the daily flood of spam. Thanks for your patience while we implemented this. We wanted to make sure nothing horrible would happen to the forum as a result.

                        Well, we installed ReCaptcha and it seems to have had little effect. @Michel just installed another tool. Let's see if that does anything.

                        What a pain in the ass!

                        Thanks everyone for your patience.

                            Well, first morning in a week or so that I haven't woken up to spam. Maybe we nailed it. Fingers crossed. ;-)

                                Well, when I wrote that I didn't know that @Michel had switch to manually approving all applicants, which means extra work for us of course. NodeBB has a better solution in their latest version, which still requires manual approval but will make it easier to manage. We'll be upgrading this weekend hopefully. In any case, the Michel's actions have stopped the flood.
