When I select "Recent posts" everything is written in Japanese/Chinese?
This doesn't happen when I select any of the threads in any other fora, but if I select any thread out of the "new posts" list then the thread appears in Japanese or anything.
Must be spam messages posted massively...

Edit : FWIW After page 10, however, the threads appear in a normal way. On page 2 and 4 though, there are two threads showing correctly...

One guy in particular hit the site and posted about 24 spam posts :) I can ban the account, block the email and IP, and erase all his posts with the press of a button - but it sometimes takes me a few hours to see the problem if they post at 2 AM.

If it starts to become a bigger issue I will simply turn on 100% moderation for all posts from new accounts until approved as being "human bonsai lovers". That will nip it all in the bud.

Difference in time zone, yes.
When I first saw that page I thought some kind of problem was going on with the forum but then I realized what it really was happening.

It could be a good idea: it's 9:38 (AM) here, and according to https://time.is/ , it's 00:38, and there are dozens of spams again in the "new posts"...
