The constant spam
Couldn't there be a way to more efficiently sort out the spammers that register and post that utter crap in thread after thread? I'm thinking it shouldn't be such a problem to implement something like what's necessary for post when you're not logged in (ie writing down words from captures)?

Yes, Kalcidis, it's a pain, I know.
We are working on it now though.
Hopefully it will stop soon.

Re: The constant spam
Good to hear! The work you put in on this forum is dearly appreciated but I'm thinking it has to be overwhelming when you manually have to clean up posts from bots.

Re: The constant spam
It was/is quite annoying having to delete all those posts manually yes. I would delete a dozen and clear the whole page and 10 minutes later there would be another 5 orso.
It looks a little better now. Hopefully it will stay like this.
Fingers crossed.

Re: The constant spam
Things have changed a little now. The registration form has an 'image check' added now, so bots can't register anymore. The old bot-accounts have been deleted. Everything is back to normal.
