@TechnoFino what action are we taking against such spammers? See these messages everyday on this community and it is annoying.

True, one of the reason why I have started being less active here.

Number of bots are increasing !

Give additional privileges to higher tier members via a separate "Report Spam/Member" button, which will instantly restrict the member from posting further and move the thread to Recycle Bin, from where Admins and Mods can permanently delete such threads and members

These are all automated bots via api calls. Blocking them will not solve the issue.

Well these days... there are cheap services available to break captcha...
even they can break google invisible captcha 🙂
.
Well either block their IPs (bots can still use proxies but still it is a good option)
Or need a pending for approval state for posts which contains this suspicious spam keywords and those can be posted only when some admin takes a manual action on them 🤔

Yes posting intervals also can be used to catch bots
It looks like within 10sec it’s creating 10 threads with same content or heading

Re-captcha3 by Google is invisible

There are websites which can solve this for u too and not much costly 😅
Need some other measures.

Introduce a 10 minute (maybe more) cooldown between creation of two threads from same account

Can be stepped/increasing also say second one after 20 minutes from first. 3rd one after 30 mins from second for same day.

We are thinking to add some post limitation for new users
