Right; the spammers with the email suffixes:

forcemix.online
selovin.art
yagoo.website
yandex.com
***.ua
***.ru

give up, because we're not going to get bored of deleting your accounts as spam.

I've done a little digging...

We are currently using an issue of Vbulletin that is no longer supported. The spammers have likely found a way in and whereas before Vbulletin would issue a patch, that isn't going to happen.

I see two possible options...

1) upgrade to the latest issue of Vbulletin. - That will likely have cost implications.

2) vet new members before they are allowed to post. - My assumptions are that we can actually do that (from memory we should be able to) and that the spammers aren't using a backdoor.

Thanks Rebbonk. Admin Will & I have discussed upgrading to a newer version of VBulletin, and it's on the agenda - just a matter of finding time in busy lives to do it!

Dodgy posts are automatically submitted for moderation, so we can vet/delete them before they can be generally viewed.

Again, thanks for your ongoing efforts, Rebbonk! :D
