Forum now back on and we had no Spam posting during the downtime so the spammers are accessing the site via the front end pages and registration. We will be blocking the facility to post a new thread with the words 'live stream' in the title when the next one turns up so you will still see spam today but it should be gone shortly.

That won't work. It has a weird random title on each thread then an http link.

They appear to have found a new avenue to post again. Two this morning with live streaming links.

It was because I removed IP address filtering yesterday as some new valid registrations were getting blocked. IP filtering now re enabled.
