It has been noticed following implementing new measures against spambots that some of these spambots are attempting to log in to these forum to post spam by trying to hack in to user accounts via brute force.

The measures put in place should block these spambots once they are identified as a spambot, however if your password is particularly weak then they could log in and post without the system realising it is not you!

Therefore, please ensure that your password for this forum is not weak. We suggest using a combination of numbers and letters, avoiding the use of dictionary words.
