Is this Spam? Links that don't Exist?!
 
Is this spam or what? It's like links in Spanish that don't exist when you click on them. What is this? I'm afraid it has to do with porn by looking at the link names...

Yes but it will come back. Do you have some sort of advanced CAPTCHA system, or other anti-spam methods in place?
Email authentication, random questions and CAPTCHA all work very well together (in my experience).

I used to have spam problems by IP addresses that kept changing and they made hundreds of accounts. So I changed my CAPTCHA method to the one where it is custom questions and answers. That did the trick. And just to let you know, these URLs do not exist, and yet they are going to them. Why could this be?! They have realistic thread URLs. What could be going on?

just resolve the ips and see what spiders are crawling it. i think thats all it is

someone could have deleted the URLs, they could have been there at one time!
someone could be spoofing you. it could be many things, but if you have random questions working, i wouldnt worry about it. just ban yhe ips

Banned the IPs and they are gone now. Those pages never existed though, I have no sort of porn or anything on my site. My site is relatively new too. I don't really know what it was all about, haha...

those are posts made SHOWTHREAD

the pages could have been made by anyone while you were a sleep, can members delete their own posts ? if so there you go

Sorry for posting late, but you shouldnt ban the ones starting with 66. Those are google bots

Don't know about the one starting with 69.

Since they arent logged in they have nothing to do with those threads. They couldn'tve made them, unless you have in your vb settings that guests can post too (NOT RECOMMENDED), so banning them makes no sense.

The google bots visited those pages by accident or something. I do know something weird happened, but I don't know what.

Anyways, you shouldnt ban google bots. They need to be able to index your site (which is what you want, if you want to show up on google results).

So yeah, if you don't want to show up on google results, leave them banned. But if you want to show up on google results, you should unban them lol.
