    Ok seriously it's getting really ridiculous the amount of spam on the forums is getting to an increasingly annoying level.

    Can someone(Chris) PLEASE DELETE this Bot?
    memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=855

    There more of them but this one is most badly behaved.

    Its not even English ads that are being posted. Like WTF..

    :cry:

    Edit: another one-

    Authenticated signup is the only way to go - maybe with a captcha in the process too. It is ridiculous.

    I try to get on it every day or two, sorry about that. The signup form DOES have a captcha, it's amazing how persistent they are. I'll look into those ideas to block more of it, but last time I tried any deep alterations to the code of these forums I really borked it =P, makes me nervous.
