Title: peculiar registrations
Post by: admin on Jun 02, 2025, 09:53 PM
We seem to be having a rash of registrations for various people with odd choices of name and or email address. They seem to start to register and then generally don't click on the activation link. They cannot do anything other than view public posts. There were 4 dating back about 10 days and 2 today which look spammy.
 
Fortunately admin users can easily get rid of these with a couple of clicks and I have just deleted them all. I will post a note about this for admin users in the private admin section of the forum.

I am aware this might lead to some false positives - however, in fairness, most users who are genuinely interested in caving/mine-exploring will complete the registration in a day or so and generally will be logging in from a UK IP address.
