Locked Increased forum security.

[Iron Tyrone]

From earlier today, we saw a LOT of spam-bots posting here on the forums an abnormal amount of times. We've not seen anything of this scale in a long time. In just under 4 hours, 50 accounts had been registered, and subsequently banned as they were made to spam-create threads. 

I implemented a few measures, that should hopefully prevent it from happening again.

One quick example of this can be the added security measures and new questions when registering (to hopefully prevent macros), and a few other things.

As always, we would greatly appreciate if you see anything on the forums which you believe to be spam/malicious - in that case feel free to contact me, or another Admin (@Nhs or @Sandstorm) via Discord so we can get to it before it stays up for too long.

 

Sincerely,
