Default Spam is getting out of hand

do the mods have it in their power to put some security code activation or a slightly more long winded registration routine?

That bloke posting Russian everywhere has just done my head in.

as far as i am aware admin is looking at it, but with every new system there are growing pains...tbh mate, considering what it was like before the current reg system this is nothing. so admin, as i am aware, is doing a good job

I don't, by any means, wish to criticise mods or admin.

Was spam as bad as that whole thing tonight? cos that was intense!

When i first joined there was about 3 normal posts and 100 spam posts per day.
Took us about 6 months to clean it up.

Agreed its loads better these days, although they still somehow manage to do undeleteable posts (see russian stuff on front page)

Never figured how to get rid, according to the forums the threads dont exist!!
