      Current new users try to spam with phone numbers.
      I reported some profiles which use images with such phone services.

      Is the spam filter of forum inactive?

      I've deleted the posts and banned the accounts for now. If any new ones pop in, please report them and I or someone else will deal with them as quickly as possible.

      I'm not sure why the spam filter isn't catching them, it seems like obvious spam to me

      It looks like it's raining spam messages on the forum. And it intensifies!

      @LonM
      Please, is there no captcha function for beginners on the forum? Good old captcha - for example, numbers written in handwritten words? For every single message in the first ten? This could help!

      @WildEnte @LonM It seems there is a cap of one post each 3/4 minutes now for new users which means the filter might be horribly broken and/or ineffective (or went off totally for a brief period).

      I think it was one post each 1 hour time ago, or something similar, especially with edits or links involved.

      Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

      @WildEnte, reported. These are spambots and in the past in another forum we had a good methode to avoid these, simply relay the account activation mail half an hour. These bots use temporal mails and because of this, with this relay never receive this activation mail.

      I don’t know where to post this but there are so many airline related spams from „different“ spamming users, I already reported. Seems to be impossible to get rid of those. They are comimg in within every minute.

      just report the posts. There is not too much we can do.

      Sure. Just wanted to write in the other post: My problem is that I don’t want to do it too often, because for me reporting a spam is also a sort of spamming in my eyes and feelings, just the other way around.

      Edit: I can not flag more than 10 times, so no more reports for this day, sorry.

      @Thot just report the posts as spam. There is not too much we can do.

      Sadly, i fear they have to set the filter to be more aggressive to catch common spam (even with a small chance of false positive).

      @Hadden89 I reported what I could - apparently they limit you to 10 flags per day.

      @sgunhouse Yep. But you should still be able to report single posts even if you reached the cap of 10 reported users. (nodebb quirkness, don't ask). Also, the filter is still out of service, I fear.

      That’s the limit, also for me. Are the specifications of the forum.
