What is up with all the spam lately? Is there anything being done about it? |

I still say some kind of additional field during registration would prevent them from registering in the future. Something where there is only one specific answer. Just have a required question like "Which company created Mario & Zelda". Then the person registering has to put "Nintendo", which an automated sign-up cannot answer because it has an intelligent, specific answer. For even more security, have the question in a picture, rather than as text, so you have a .jpg with the question on it, so automated sign-ups cant even read the question. Worked wonders on my old sites. |

Wait 30 minutes. I ban them as soon as i see them, then when I finish the banning & deletion prossess, you three have reported it too. Thanks for the, help but don't be so quick. ;) ;D |
