Thanks for reporting. Have removed and banned the users. Clearly spam!

Another one at it today! Ifuhd or possibly 1fuhd
Is it any use blocking their IP? We’ve had to do a lot of blocking on another phpBB forum where I’m a Moderator. This post in the phpBB forum is from our techy Moderator
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... #p16086589. I see we had a spurious high water mark in September, no way more than 10k real people were on this forum!

That's really helpful, thanks.
I've been blocking by IP address individually, but I've added those IPs to the block list too now - let's hope it stems the flow.
Thanks for the input - really helpful
