Dealing with the recent influx of spambots.
« on: June 08, 2010, 10:56:59 am »
I've now applied the following mod to SMF to hopefully block out the spambots: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1516

So, folks have to answer a simple few questions before registering.  I think a number of "sleeper" spambots registered in the last couple of days, so we may see some activity from them coming up, but hopefully this will prevent new spam from arriving.
