every couple of days I log in to delete the SPAM accounts, and I can usually do it before they start posting garbage.
Some days... not so much.

OK, I installed a new type of spam filter. I'm hoping it reduces the spam accounts significantly. We'll see. It's almost impossible to keep it spam free without doing it full time, but I'm working on it.

The new stuff appears to be working very well.
I would have hundreds of spam signups per day, and now... knock on wood... There have been none.
I plan on giving some stats on the intrusions. Up until now, I would have to log into the administrator portal and delete hundreds of fake registrations, sometimes deleting a few that were valid.
I'm hoping this will be a longer term solution.
Thanks for your patience.

Yesterday the software intercepted 489 fraudulent accounts.
Just yesterday.
It's up to 1,027 from when I installed it.
So, that's what I've been up against. If I didn't delete them daily they could get through eventually. Usually they would get through while I was on vacation or away at training.
Now it should be over, unless they figure out how to get around it and I don't think they will this time.

Yesterday was 576!
So nice to not have so many spam accounts.

Thanks! Call me crazy, but their obsession makes no sense to me.
