Spammers…..can be human or bots. Those Chinese posts are probably human. Our program itself has time limits between posts, so those human spammers can’t flood our host server and forum with posts.

Spam bots, however, can try to hit our site with 100’s of “join requests” in a matter of minutes, which just about causes our host server to collapse trying to identify those requests.

It’s complicated and has always been an online problem.

Well something odd is happening, not been able to post, son has refreshed, new tabs, history clean etc... And still I get stuck and frozen in less than a minute. I've just gone on incognito and are able to post, I don't like hiding and always prefer transparency. If anyone can help I'd be grateful. Hope those late "eastern posts" aren't responsible, I got two weird miscalls from China on my cell-my son who works for an American cyber security company traced the number and said "dodgy"... I did post a comment on those late nite floods in mandarin... Has this buggerd up my connections?
I'm on withdrawal treatment since I've been awol.... Uriah Heep and bourbon are helping!
