We are getting a few spammers on the site that appear to be using auto registrations. Once the new server is in next week I will look into trying to stop them or temporarily close registrations.

Until then I am too busy to look into it but don't worry, I know about it and will be on the case......

A new random question has been added to the registration process.

Now any bots that get past the image verification also need to be able to 'read' the question and answer it. They are very simple questions, it's not a quiz!

If some still get through, I will try other catching methods.

Cheers
BM

Cheers BM, hope it does the trick. Will let you know... :)

Added bonus is that the 'simple' question will probably still stump many rags.

There should be a way of proving you aren't a spammer at point of registration.

God knows how though....would be brilliant if there was such a thing. :)

The random letters thing in a weird font with grey behind is what works for sure. Not too sure if we can do that though.

We already have that, don't we? Think that's what BM means by image verification.
