Concern about the recent list of registered users

[sashimidimsum7250]

Lately when I see who is logged in, I see names like:

cannery-hotel-casino-las, casino-gambling-in-texas, casino-games-for-free, casino-windsor-map, , gambling-boats-in-st-loui, gay-teen-boys-videos, harrahs-showboat-casino, motor-city-casino-constru, , pa-gambling-casino, pearl-theatre-at-palms-ca, popular-online-casino, treasure-island-casino-re

Obviously all bogus (I hope!). Hope the jpod staff is on the case.

The number of these accounts has been increasing and it's gone from just casino to other spam sites. There are at least 20-30 of these accounts logged in as I type. It is becoming pretty bad. There is obviously some script registering all these users. Somehow they need to make it so they can't sign up. The forum is becoming "flooded" with these accounts.

No captcha for registration to avoid spammers???

Not at the moment.

Guys,
I know you deleted the last bunch of bogus accounts but a lot more have now signed up.

Mina-san,

We are on top of this and should have a fix to this exploit soon.

Thanks for your patience and apologies for the inconvenience.

We've installed some updates and modifications that should help out a lot with this. Thanks everybody for helping us keep an eye out.

Is this what's causing the website slowdown? I can get on in the morning, but at night, it takes forever to get a page to load.

Has anyone else had this problem?

[Jason]

It shouldn't be. The site is fine for me. What kind of internet connection are you on? Do you know if it's shared? It sounds more like the network is getting overcrowded by a lot of people trying to use it at once at night.

I'm on a fiber optic network with a 100M download speed.

Worse times for me are after 5pm Japan time. Never can get on, and takes forever to get a page to load. Right now, it's 6:45am Japan time, and not having a problem.
