          Yeah trust me i know about it. Problem is its a real person! some india guy getting 50 cents for every person that replies!

          The problem is i cant mark user as spam until user starts SPAMMING. but once i get notified i take care of it right away. This can happen from time to time and not a lot i can do about it other then keep blocking the IP as it happens and it will eventually stop.

          I am looking at other ways but PLEASE any Moderators report user ASAP or flag as spam ALL Moderators can flag any user as spam in backend so if you need instructions let me know and will step you through it.

            It’s amazing to me that anyone would think that spam like the one sent to me (as above) would ever work?

              yeah it’s sad but I bet some people fall for it. Hard to believe but why else would they do it

                    Also received 2 of these messages to my inbox.  What blows my mind is the platform to which spammers are branching into.  This forum or hobby really isn’t for the less mentally fortunate, so thinking you’d get a reply here is odd to me.  I guess shotgun approach is a real thing!

                      never thought removing V3 capthca on login would let spam in but it did. Currently only have it on registration page until i fix app login issue so this could happen again before i can find solution. Fingers crossed! Will be working on the login captcha for app tonight and then hope its back to secure as it can be.

                      AGAIN sorry for the trouble

                        Neh, no need to apologize sir.
                        These things happen all over the interweb.
                        As long you’re aware when they register and start off their crap it’s all good.

                        Happy holidays!
