Mods and Admins need to get a handle on the HACK ASAP

Maybe site should set up to approve accounts before hand? Gun quiz before approval?

Where do I find the wrong password attempts. (Same friend….)

I had to find the steps to even get back to it.

You must go into the actual Microsoft account and choose security and then sign in activity

I'm telling y'all, email verification for new accounts before posting would probably make it alot harder for those kinda people...

That would cut into the revenue stream for the site. Can’t have that.

Thank you @Okie4570. I e had a heck of a night/day. MIl fell and broke her hip last night and work has been chaotic today. I’m just now checking in.
I’ve noticed in the past that this crap happens in waves. It will be like this for a few days and the a break. It will start up again after a few more days.

I've only been on for an hour or so and I have spam cleaned several already.

Mods don't have any control over that.

I just made it where all new members have to be approved by mods or myself before they can do anything.

Nothing showing changed, but I need to ask head tech if some upgrade opened something up.
