Just a heads up - today alone I caught what appears to be the automated registration of a long string of what would probably wind up being spambot accounts... 21 user accounts all tied to the same IP address, all created within the last week, and all with charactersalad usernames:

I am posting this to ask for the communities help in catching these kinds of things - it seems to me that either our automated systems for catching such threats have failed, or that whatever bots are being used have been updated to be able to get around them.
What drew my eye to this case was the first username showing up in the "Members Online Now" box - it looks... well, honestly, like someone smashed their face on the keyboard a few times. Most of them do.
Basically, if you see something like that, please feel free to PM a moderator or file a report so we can look into it.
I've also asked our administrator to look into this to see if anything further can be done.
