[Solved] Can some1 help me understand...

... how and why this is happening? Im not even asking for a solution (that would be nice too 😀) Lately in my forum it's a non-stop new members registrations... but they are not real users (of course they are real people I would imagine...) So really it's so many questions I have: 1 - why is this happening now and not before? Actually why it's this happening at all? 2- what for they do it? They dont spam, they dont put adverts for their places etc... what for they waste their time then? 3- Is there anything wrong for me?, is there any advantage for them?..... 4- Give me at least some good news please. Do this fact, (the fact that I'm getting irrelevant people) even that it's not nice, do at least meant that my forum it's easily found by people? *I'm not sure if question nr 4 will be easily understood by you guys For example, I just got 3 new users signed in the last 10 minutes. My yet to be beaten record 🤣 Thanks 😀

Thanks Robert. I just (just now) add the Clean Talk plugin and its there working already

What I really didn't new (its all quite confuse) its if to deactivate Akismet (still active) and I was reading an email sent by Cleantalk telling me that I could now stop Captcha - Recaptcha.... BUT after reading your answer I guess I better keep everything as it was only that with this CleanTalk added, don't you think?

Thanks again 🙂

@jesus,

I'd keep the reCAPTCHA too.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Thanks Robert 🙂

Can I use the ocassion to make you another question?

I have, changed the nicenames of some of them (the ones which usernames don't show very clearly that they are spammers) and this way my users count has increased by 30, (I got very few real users-count) hopping that more user count will push some more real users to subscribe... 🤣 🤣 , you know what I meant?

Do you think that this can harm in anyway?, or will I just be better deleting them all at once?

Thanks again and so sorry, some questions may sound quite silly to you guys but there is everything so new to some of us 😀
