If you care about your forum you should begin to assign site security more of your effort. High or low value, the Internet is a nasty awful war zone with nation states taking their cyber geo-political ambitions online. Thus, we're all under attack, you're no different.
And with A.I. bots able to do much of these malicious activities, creating chaos and harvesting your site's data has never been so easy. With your data in hand, A.I. can serve it up as someone else's original content without so much as giving you or your members credit, your site becomes exponentially more irrelevant to new members.
Best advice, search this forum for Cloudflare and other forum anti-BOT topics, so you can begin closing the doors the bad-guys are using to diminish your site.
