Hey everyone, It seems a lot of people are having issues verifying their email when first signing up as they are not receiving the email.

This is because around 20-30% or emails sent from [email protected] are being bounced due to being marked as spam. I'm working on fixing this at the moment, (the domain is on a domain blacklist on spamhaus.org)

In the meantime, please send an email to [email protected] from the email that needs verifying and I will verify the email manually which should resolve the issue.

Thanks, Tom

Did you purge the bot accounts @[email protected] ? Can see a material decrease which is actually good

Haha yeh i did there was around 3k bots accounts which I found and purged hadn’t liked or subscribed to any communities and their email was a distinct pattern

Thanks for the vigilance - most seem to just be joining and staying quiet. They're like a ticking time bomb.

Just want to say - that alone, I hope, isn't automatically an assumption of them being a bot. I rarely comment on threads - the only reason I'm even commenting now, is so that I can show that I am, in fact, a human.

No need to worry - there were clearly patterns in the bot accounts that give them away. I imagine the vast majority or folks signed up here haven't posted so you could hardly rely on just that as your criteria.
