Maybe spam attacks are so pervasive that what’s happening to us is just par for the course. I believe we use SSO, but it’s limited just to our site. We don’t use any external authentications. The pattern is very clear they always fill our “Gender” field with a random string of uppper and lower case letters. The username is almost always a “real” sounding first and last name followed by a string of numbers The email used is always some custom domain, usually very unusual looking. Never a popular service We haven’t adjusted anything with our spam filters. We might get three or four of these per day. Maybe 10 per week or more. So far I have just been deleting them so they haven’t had time to post. Any ideas?

Is anyone experiencing an odd spam user attack? Any way to block?

I think the answer is that I half-configured them, so thanks for the heads-up on that! I’ll have to check (again) with the mods as to what they see.
