Strange things happen last time online before joined date.
-
A crew member on my NodeBB saw every minute a new person register our community. The strange thing is that the last online time is before the account was created.
How is this possible?

... as for someone new registering every minute... you may want to check them as they may be automated spambots :(

Yes we did check it and disabled the IP address. It was from 1 IP :)

I know, but the accounts are 5 minutes created after the time last online.
So let's say a person register at 10:24 and he was last online 10:19.

NoCAPTCHA is the most efficient against spam bots.

@meetdilip Agreed, although some pesky Korean spam outfits tend to use a manual step (or maybe some outsourced CAPTCHA solver) to register and spam

I see. Human bots are impossible to stop.
