What tactics have folks found effective against "customer refund" spam?

So I found this website with way too much phonepe spam on search results:

EVERY SINGLE TOPIC IS PHONEPE SPAM.

I created an account and tried to contact the staff there but to no response yet.

They are also running an extremely outdated version of Discourse.


Yeah, I am a member of the gimkit forums and it happened there too. So the moderator of the gimkit forums @Blackhole927 made a trusted group of people have TL4 abilities to somewhat take care of the bots. Then Pharlain announced new user creations were disabled (by Josh) and the forum was getting updates quite soon.

Topics about bot spam the Gimkit Forums created

Can’t find anymore, they were deleted.

So basically, your best bet is to disable new user registration until it is all clear.
