For some reason our forum keeps getting spammed with bots daily posting child porn and advertisements i.e. Viagra.

Does any one know why this is? Is it a Addon we have installed? Or are we listed in a database which alows people to access and spam our forums?

Thanks.

I've been getting them here lately also and it is quite annoying I have been reporting them to the abuse center as spam but it is terrible!

Cant you be prosecuted if an authority sees it (child porn) on you forum/site?
We keep getting it daily, but we have added NoSpam! which should stop bots from registeting.

If any one knows why were getting them, it will be greatfull.
Thanks.

They keep signed up with a @mail.ru email.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
