That might work. First thing I'm going to do is put image validation on the registration page. This spam is getting out of hand.

The registration validation thing normally does the trick, some bots and alot new can actually post to inside threads to get the post required to make threads.

(Sorry if this seems dumb coming from a guy with one post :lol: )

I think that moderators visiting the site happens less often than it used to. So they can't keep up with the spam.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

I visit pretty often. The problem is the bots visit at weird times, and spam almost all at once.

Introduce a voting system, like has for comments made on videos. That way we can burry the spammers when you're sleeping :).

Hmm, maybe not such a good idea...
