Why are all the posts in Chinese?
Suddenly all the posts are in Chinese! Probably this one is too. What's happened?

Re: Why are all the posts in Chinese?
The forum is being flooded by some script kiddie, it seems. The posts are probably random chinese lorem-ipsum texts, news or whatever. The most effective way to prevent this is through CAPTCHAs, but the forum's software is probably old and/or it doesn't have this function.

Re: Why are all the posts in Chinese?
We have recently finished a huge upgrade to the forum software. It has had the effect of slowing them down, but they still bypass the reCaptcha by having a human verify it for the bot.

If possible have all new members have first post or two need to be approved first by moderator before publishing.

Re: Why are all the posts in Chinese?
Doesn't really matter if we call it Chinese or Korean or Asian or crap...it's spam and obviously a huge annoyance.
He's not done either. I am pretty sure that I recognize some new member screen IDs that he hasn't posted with just yet.
I hesitate to block them when there haven't been any posts to those new accounts just in case they are legit.
A human is doing the registering and thus getting past the Captcha thing...and then he turns his bots loose.

Re: Why are all the posts in Chinese?
a LITTLE collateral damage in a war like this is acceptable.
If they are legit, they'll send an email.
Don't be so sure, bots process the Captcha's

Re: Why are all the posts in Chinese?
Ah, that explains it. I wondered if it was my laptop. Now I can see that there are several other posts on the subject but I couldn't see them earlier.
