Over the last few days the forum has been constantly flooded with topics from spam bots. I see that the moderators are trying to keep up with this and eventually delete such threads but the problem persists.
Of course I don't have a full solution to this but wouldn't it be possible to at least limit the number of new forum topics (not trades) that a new user can create so that one bot isn't able to create multiple pages of new threads? I see no reason why a user should create more than a few forum topics per day. Especially a new user.

Can be used to make Runewords:
If this doesn't also affect trades (because I am sure they can spam there too), then I am okay with it.
Or like many forums, do not allow posting until a few requirements are met. If you waste their time with these tasks, they will probably not go into doing this (most of them at least).

Oh yeah I've read about this before, seems like a good option too.

There's a lot going on behind the scenes here - mods made me aware of this issue on 23rd Dec and we've been in an arms race with this new attack ever since.
Lots of different layers of anti-spam tools are already in use - this particular vector is proving to be especially resilient.
Please have patience while mods and I work our way through the problem.

Yeah, it's already work in progress, but we also were all (mods and Teebs) not super available with Christmas time, so more in a "quick fix" mode than a permanent solution.
We know the issue and we will do our best for something better in the long run - deleting loads of rotten posts every morning has not been the funniest part of my holidays (though compared to the time spent with my in-laws, I am not sure I don't prefer the spams ^^)

I've noticed I can no longer access this site while connected to my VPN, not a big deal but I've got to connect with my backup router for the time being. I've got my primary router configured with my vpn so all my traffic is routed that way.
No complaints - I understand there may be some collateral damage issues as this gets resolved.

I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys, Perfect Gems, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.
Can you try again from your VPN now please Knappa?Knappogue wrote: 1 hour agoI've noticed I can no longer access this site while connected to my VPN, not a big deal but I've got to connect with my backup router for the time being.

I can connect like normal now! I have to prove I'm human, which is normal for my VPN connection. Thank you for the fix! If the fix allows more bots to spam the homepage though, please revert. I'm ok with bouncing between routers to access here.
