Yeah, it's automated Spam-Bots that manage to Register, but cannot post.

They've done so for more than a year, but activities notably increased around 3 months ago.

I'll look into upgrading the Forum around new year, that should make managing (and banning) these Bots more easy.

Spam-Bots have been quite successful in other unmoderated/managed by inexperienced Admin Forums, I guess that's why the Spammers got so much into them.

Can't seem to recall it's name ???

I'll implement a comparable function when the Board is up-to-date and I have access to all current Board Modifications needed to solve the problem.
