ty guys.
As the mods already know - we seem to have 2 different types of spammers, the automated bot type.. and then theres those that are more 'humanoid' type spam.
Touch wood we seem to have have arrested the bot type attack that started last month. The logs show that for the past couple of months theres been 146 pages (x15) of unsuccessful attempts. There will also be some which wont record to the log, so for the odd 1 or 2 to get through from the 'humanoids' aint too bad, I suppose.. particularly when the mods are pretty quick with their dusters
