Spammers on Minti

Comment Published at 23:0223:026 comments6 comments78 Visits78 VisitsReport

Well we had a lot of spammers hit us in the last few hours (or maybe even just one spammer signing up over 400 times).

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thanks much to Izzy and Matthew for being on top of this, and the team at Market United.

We have already reacted, and have made our signup process far less computer friendly with a new "captcha" graphic. Unfortunately this means it is also a "little" less human friendly

Re: Spammers on Minti

Thank goodness, I thought it was kind of weird having so many new members... I stopped going to the activity page because every time I did there was nothing up there to look at.....

congrats on finding them so fast, are they the ones that sent me a message to my mail box which is now gone that I myself did not delete? I hadn't read the message at the minti site but did read it from my hotmail account.....

And you think we mind? lol.  Every other site I have ever joined has the same thing, for the exact same reason.

Your tech team is amazing!  They jumped on the spammers so quickly and I've noticed, we are back to a more moderate membership rate of about 5 an hour.  Much better!  Now I can actually see the real activity happening on the activity list.
