xx nutcracker123.com site is under spam attack

[sean]

Since march 1st , we have had over 10,000 logins from mainly Russia. Our spam protection has not stopped thousands of accounts from being created. Steve Giron has created spam filters to automatically mark accounts banned. IP addresses, email account. It seems to be working, our spam log has 1000's of entries. I want to thank Steve for helping detect this and clean it up.

We are doing our job if you have not noticed the forum being slow or unavailable these last three days. The spam wave continues.

What's up with the Ruskies? I guess they like xLights.

It's been fun reading some of the posts (thank you Google Chrome translation function).  Definitely some odd scribbling.

Seems to me that attacking a website like the xLights forum would be a total waste of a spammers time. I thought they liked to take down commercial sites. I guess they think that this is a commercial software product.

xlights/nutcracker is becoming too powerful and putin knows this! he wants it all for himself.

Let's face it. xLights 16 is a global event.
