Has to be a way to screen this from occurring.

Why can't there be an admin approval for new member posts. I'm on other forums where your first couple posts needed to be approved as legit before you could post freely. Sounds like it wouldn't be a burden to admin as they're already spending time daily removing shit posts. There's gotta be a better way.

But, Dave says it isn't a problem 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😠

There were at least 50 more beyond these and it's ongoing. Fucking ridiculous 😡 😡😡

I know absolutely nothing about running a website/forums but RDP is the only one which I participate on that regularly experiences these attacks. Not saying it doesn’t occur on the others, only that RDP attacks are visible when I sign on. Kinda gives me an uneasy feeling about the security here.

Rumor is it's RD that's doing it.

AI bots are excellent students...just saying.
Even Hollywierd producers/creators/etc. are fighting it.

It will either inconvenience the members or the moderators but it can easily be fixed, all the spam already inconveniences both.

He's incredibly busy updating his RDP Advertising Index thread with all the spam bots. You might not see him for awhile.

If the Xenforo techs request an add on, these spammers will be gone forever. I got a guy!

Seems like this is the answer every time, Dave, yet the issue continues....

When one of the best moderators shows signs of frustration, you know the issue is starting to cause conflicts.
Getting to the point, I don’t even bother loading up RDP to read until after 7am PST. When I travel to the east coast, I don‘t even open the page these days,
