About an hour ago, the board was hit by a posting spree of Korean/Generic Asian spam bots. I temporarily disabled the “Member” group’s new post rights. Members can still post in already created topics and use the “Pax Box”

The posting rights should be restored in 24 hours-ish.

Stupid spam and being able to get past a CAPTCHA & validating their accounts via email.
