Spam/faulty email notifications

Post by d000hg »

I've been getting email notifications about new posts on subscribed topics, which don't have any new replies. It seems to have started only recently; I wondered if this is due to spam replies which get deleted before I see the threads?

My email got hacked yesterday so I also wanted to check I'm not responsible, if a mod has anyway to check it wasn't me sending the spam!

A lot of spam is now caught by our new user restrictions (all posts with links or pics made by new users require moderation). It is still visible to the mods, but hidden from the public until we approve it.
It's possible those posts are triggering email notifications before the spam filter decides to hide them.
