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.

Spam police on the other side of the planet may be an idea to keep things clean while the admins are hugging their pillows.
