Title: Spam stats and legit traffic
Post by: VladTepes on Wednesday, 22 January 2025, 10:46 PM
For those interested, we use a service called cleantalk. Worth every cent of $25.45/year.

For the period Jan 13 2025 - Jan 21 2025 (just one week) it blocked 7 spam signups and a staggering 539 spam attempts.  :furious:

For our small forum that'd be pretty crippling if we had to deal with that manually!

Where are these spammers coming from? Well for that week there's a surprise - in order from most to least:
New Zealand, Venezuela, Ukraine, India, China.

(I suspect Russia or similar is routing traffic via NZ, but then again those Kiwis are a dodgy lot  :stir:  )


The top legit traffic for the week - again in order:
Australia, Finland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Croatia  :onya:
