We never had this much spam before the forum switch. What the hell happened?

I guess new forum scripts installs are tracked and spammed.

Upgrade of forum was rush - when it was put online on 12 Nov, spambots did indeed create users here - for example todays spam posts are from the 12Nov users. We did a lot to secure against spam since then, there is Sortables Captcha with nice porn related questions that automated bot cant overcome (there are human spammers too), developers currently implementing patch to ban chinese and russian characters to posts, also on todo list is to ban posting any URL links to user with fewer than 3 posts (spammers ALWAYS use URLs). We keep improving and watching, report any further spambots hostilities here.

I hope you exclude links for domains that are related to this forum / legalporno, else that would seem like a bad idea
