Thanks mate, yeah we have been inundated with this lately from various ip addresses mainly china and Russia.
I have been banning IP addresses every night but its a waste of time.
It's most likely bots and for those who don't understand, the email is from us advising you, the member that someone has tried too many times which puts a 15 minute ban on your account.
This stops the bot for that username for a bit.
I don't want to ban Russia as we have a lot of members and lurkers who use the forum over there but I think ill block out china altogether at this rate.
Although that won't entirely help the situation either.
Ill do some more research on stopping this so apologise for this folks.
Rest assured the emails are real, not spam so just reply to them advising me so I can make sense of it all and find a solution.
One thing you all could do would be to have a decent password comprising of minimum 2 words, numbers, upper and lowercases and symbols.
Even slang words misspelt words etc is very beneficial, not just for this forum but all your Internet passwords.
