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

There definitely seems to be an increase for some reason... I've just been reporting them...

Yep, we ban and delete one by one...

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.

Thank you, I know my inbox floods with reports from 3 persons, you being second most active. ;)
Actually no need to report so quickly, I hang around here all the time. 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
