--- Quote from: TyrannicalFascist on June 15, 2012, 02:20:58 PM ---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. --- End quote --- Not bad idea. Hopefully Snowcone does something before the situation gets out of hand. it's still OK, it used to be 20000+ per month. |

Just wanted to say Thank You to the moderators of this site. Tis true, there does seem to be some spam issues here from time to time, but it always seems to be taken care of very quickly, which is something I, and I'm sure most folks on this forum, really appreciate. |
| Arseen:
Thank you. ;D |

Ya don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing, this is a great site with great moderators! Arseen especially, great job. It's just the most I've seen at once since I've been a member. By the way Arseen, I'm still on a quest to find the perfect printer and scanner lol. |

This is not bad yet. around christmas time it was way worse. 35000+ spammers registering per month, see statistic page: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?action=stats Scroll down and look at the members registered last December. 10-15 were legit, rest spammers or bots. |
