I am at a loss and have had to shut down my forums. They were just flooded with spam. The message area of the topic just has one word "MESSAGE" Each user is different, each IP is different.
I have the forum set to both email verification and restrict registration. I also have gatekeeper on there. None of them work.
Some how this bot seams to be inserting directly into the database. I am getting 100s every hour.
How do I stop this ???? Please help, I can't use my forums at all anymore.
Is it possible someone guessed your db name and are writing to it directly, thus spoofing the IP's? Is it even possible? I'm new and haven't taken the time to look under the hood too much yet.
