It's also popping up for post edits and replies. Won't be a huge problem if/when I get enough posts, but that's there. The problem is Captchas don't actually stop spam anymore if they're used JUST for a log in. Someone can solve it once then have a bot post the rest. So we're requiring them for every action on accounts with less than ten posts. it's annoying, but temporary, and sadly required. Over the 20 years of Tiki Central, we've had THOUSANDS of fake spam accounts registered. Possibly 10s of thousands. [ Edited by hanford_lemoore on 2022-03-16 20:35:09 ]
