since the 1.6 upgrade I have been hit with alot of spammers. has anyone else had this problem?
Wouldn't have been anything to do with the upgrade. Are they all from similar IPs??
sorry matt, seems your right as rain. thanks!

I have been getting flooded with spammers too! A lot of them all had similar emails, like [email protected] and now they are all .info email addresses...
You can ban those email addresses so they can''t be used for future registrations.
I've done that with the .info ones recently and it seems to have gone down a treat.
I'm not sure if it means anything, but if you are using one of the more common tld's (.com, .net and .org) you are more likely prone to spammers than others running .co.uk tld's for example.
