It is happening across all Xenforo message boards. I'll have to come up with a solution, until then I will delete the thread post.

I don't know if two factor authentication will solve the problem.Do we need to turn on two factor authentication or something?

Yea it's crazy, seems like all of he IP's are coming out of Canada.Thanks for clarifying what's been going on. I have observed the phenomenon on more than one occasion over the past few weeks. I deleted the posts but I never banned anyone. It seemed so strange to see such spam from older accounts.
.Do we need to turn on two factor authentication or something?
Temporary account suspension?I don't know if two factor authentication will solve the problem.
These are not new accounts, they are mostly old member accounts or active members who haven't been active in a few months.
They have some suggestions on the xenforo website that I'm looking at.
I'm in the early stages of understanding what's going on.
I just don't want to ban member accounts who make these type of post, because it is not the actual member.

It will end up being something like what you outlined above,Temporary account suspension?
Force members to update their passwords?
Some members have the same simple password since 2005.

Cool, I'll do the same thing. If I can find another solution I'll let you know.I just deleted a spam post made using CrimzonEyez username. I sent him a password reset link and banned the IP the post was made with. It's coming out of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland using a VPN.
