It's not a problem, I don't think, but some threads seem to have a very, very, large number of views in relation to the number of posts.
Is that "lurkers" reading along in forums, just anxious players doing multiple checks, or a bug of some kind?

In the last few months there have been a large number of bots going around scraping phpbb forums like this one. One side effect is that you get a distorted number of views. You can see there are a very large number of 'guests' sometimes.

Believe me, Ron and I are extremely busy filtering out spam from bots. It has been crazy.

This one that Dave just blocked is my new fave. The AI picked up on what the post should say, but had already picked the incorrect username
