A supposed new user "TalkswithThumbs" asked for me to add them to the forum. It was a one-time email address from a VPN. I can't imagine who it is? Regardless, I opened sign-ups for 48 hours for TalkswithThumbs to join to us but so far, nothing, but I am getting flooded with bots.
I'm not sure what to do about this kind of shenanigan?
p.s StA is not Blocked from this forum.

Could it be someone from one of your facebook groups or maybe someone who has heard of you IRL?Martin Hash wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 2:03 pm A supposed new user "TalkswithThumbs" asked for me to add them to the forum.

Re: TalkswithThumbs
I thought of that too, but why bother creating an account? Anyone can read this forum without an account, right?

Right.
Maybe they can do more with access

I don't know. I would think that the only thing they'd be able to do with access that they couldn't otherwise would be interacting with us. Maybe try and get us to say legally actionable things.

I'm not seeing an obvious connection, but if he wants to re-invent himself with a third character, I'm not opposed to it.
