Which version are you using? Absolutely use the latest one 🙂 That will fix this normally. I have also added security settings (to ban keywords and IP addresses).
I am using the latest version. And I’m still getting tons of bots. I had to build my own capture verification system around a container and I’m pulling in the chat box after verification. But I’m still getting bots if I don’t have that capthca there.
Can you contact me here? https://meowapps.com/contact. I would like to go into this matter a bit deeper. Captcha might help right now, but they are getting obsolete (AIs can get around it).
