2019-10-09 Forum Version Update - Haxus - 10-09-2019
The forum software was updated today to the latest version.
Bugs in the dark Lunorian theme got worse after the update so I removed it. Still getting used to the new/original/default layout.
Account registration now has a reCAPTCHA button instead of a silly question that any bot can answer. You just have to click a check box that says 'I Am Not A Bot'. Fingers crossed that this will reduce the spammers.
Now to go after deleting/purging the spam and see how things evolve from now on.

I was not prepared, and neither were my pupils, but I think I can manage if it keeps the spammers out.

I have been using the default MyBB theme for a long time now. I couldn't deal with the bugs in the dark Lunorian theme.

RE: Forum Version Update - Haxus - 10-10-2019
I searched but did not find a dark theme or template for this version of MyBB. Will check again from time to time.

Does look like it has slowed down spambot account creation, but yes a few of the more advanced spambots are still getting through.
So it is better i guess, but i don't know if perfect is even possible.
So yeah, cleaning up spam on the forum might be a daily job for a while still.

Actually they are quite easy to spot before they post their sh*t - weird or obvious names, spam links in signature and a suspicious bio.
If there was at least one volunteer with some limited admin rights, spambots wouldn't last long.
