Spam warning...

[Jave]

I have been on and off pretty much all day and have noticed every single time I log on to check the forums, there is new users with spam names(meaning user names such as NGGHYYTRR...just a for instance) logged in. Matt or Sui can check the records, just a heads up to the mods....

Ya,

Since about Novemberish, i've been deleting spam accounts to the tune of about 5-10 per day. Not sure any other way at this point.

Seems like more trouble then it's worth for em...but if it gets em hard...more power to em!!

cant you set it up to NEED admin approval for a new poster account?

i think it kind of is.....but somehow users become registered members without that process. I'm not sure about it and I don't want to bother jeff. It's just as easy to delete teh few that get through

Does the board use CAPTCHA when registering? (i.e. the graphical number recognition)
