Just like FB groups...once the group gets enough members, you get bombarded with spam join requests from all over the world unless the groups settings are changed to "secret".... Apparently OPE has gotten big enough that it garners attention from spammers and spam-bots. We need to implement some roadblocks for this crap.

It is some type of automation that is posting, likely not human being.

@Gentleman @Jon1212 @Mastermind does XenForo have an option to put a "Captcha" of some sort as a requirement for new posts that you could temporarily enable until the spammers calm down? It may be a good idea to activate a Captcha for users to register also... perhaps XenForo has plugins available to add Captchas if the software doesn't have it built in.

If you are not familiar with CAPTCHA here is the article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

Thanks guys. Bummer OPE got bombed :(
