Hi,
I have seen 30 users registered with the name Roberto and three other random characters a-z on January 22 and 23, 2023. Since the registrations were all done consecutively, it is likely that a person and not a bot audgled them.
An admin could view and compare the email addresses of these users.
Has anyone seen similar or know more?
Thanks,
Tuxilio

Re: Forum account spamming?
Looks like a bulk account creation for dodgy purposes. I would guess either to let them age for a bit before posting to seem less suspect for spam. It's not exactly subtle to use them as a sockpuppets though, so I would rate that as unlikely. Well spotted - I can't really think of a legit reason to make that many accounts. Administration as you said may have some more insights.
