The temu spammers lately

[Eppie]

It really is an annoyance to click on new posts and see nothing but a list of spam posts sometimes two pages long. This issue is not anywhere near as extreme in other forums that I have seen.

First time I've seen this many. Over 20 spam posts. Not a fun time to be a forum moderator.

IIRC, ASR instituted a mandatory new post review by a mod for new posts from new accounts. They were getting hit pretty hard for a while. Since then, haven't seen anything over there.

We have to try something, as this can not be allowed to continue.

I've been "ignoring" all the temu spam posters but that's getting exhausting. Does the number of ignored members somehow create some sort of plug evenutally? Just how do they create accounts/posts so easily and why is there no defense?

Thanks; for the" ignore" tip; all of the TEMU went away after about 4 "ignore"
button presses...

Enjoy!

...Ooops; spoke too soon; they're back...

This is not going to stop unless we do something different. I vote for giving Captcha a trial.
