This is a business site, they themselves are responsible to watch out for spam.
and I am a bit surprised they react in such a laid back way.
I am also still amazed the site builders don’t account for the possibility of a major spam attack, sometimes it could make or break a site, and visiting a site covered in spam is not good advertisement, and a big irritant to the users.
This spamming is going to continue for some time, before all the thousands of accounts, the spammer has created, have been banned.
I really like to help others with their questions, but digging through 50 pages of spam is not my thing
Oddly my interest is quite narcissistic at its core. Based the responses, as you said, being quite unconcerned, it is clear that security and uptime is a bit of a passive thought to the admins. In the interest if keeping my hub customers happy I’d like to see the issue dealt with in some way. Clearly a customer who looks at the forum outside of the devs very brief working hours would run away from the magical spam that is this forum. In the end the spam attacks could easily turn into a site takeover. Hopefully 3d hubs isn’t storing payments or payment information on any system which is in any way interconnected with the forum. Of course, I’ve made the call to blacklist countries and sometimes continents temporarily to prevent out of control spamming for sites with more users than 3d hubs. Quick database queries usually turn up the bulk of the spam accounts and can offer bulk deletion and then more restrictive sign up procedures to prevent robots and increase the manual sign up time costs to where spamming is no longer profitable all prove effective. Vs just being OK with it.
