So much spam??
Is there something we can do about this? I'd hate to be the guy cleaning this every time it happens- It does seem to be happening quite often, in
spurts.
I think a quick Captcha added to the registration page would really help- Something dumb, like "What element makes up Water, with Hydrogen?" so that
unless "Oxygen" was answered, registration would be unsuccessful.

This has been discussed here.

There is a captcha but something like what you said should be implemented if it is easily done.
This is really ridiculous though. Right now there are 6 spam threads and it appears that 4 of them are selling these shoes.
Right after you posted this topic you got answered with 3 more spam threads.
