Hi all!
First thanks for this extension 🙂
For an unknown reason, my 4 years old forum has been recently discovered by some chinese spammers 🙁.
I have already activated 'First Post Approval' so that nobody see their posts.
But they still can create their account and then I have to delete the user and the post.
Graal would be to not even let them activate their account because even with the first post blocked, users can still receive notification each time (10 times/day) a spammer create an account.
I found this wonderful extension but I'm not so used to the spammer world and don't really understand what 'hit' means and confidence rate neither : I have put a treshold of 3 and confidence to 50. But if there is any ressource to better understand what it means, I'm interested. 😉 I have not found anything related.
With only a few hours of usage, it seems that their posts are fully blocked but they are still able to create/activate an account.
Less work for me (and that's already a lot) but still notification to some of my forum users.
Anyway, is there any possibility to see what has been blocked? (user creation or post) Even if it means to have a look to the database.
Again, thanks a lot for this extension 🤩
Not related to this extension but a dummy question: as my spammers seems to be mainly chinese, is their any way to block a range of IP?
Thanks in advance
Thomas
