Hi all!

Over the last few days we had a few dozen spam bots sign up. Thank you to all mods who quickly deleted their posts.

I removed the accounts that were spam bots. I believe I caught them all. There were many. Thankfully, they are easy to spot, since they usually have a russian email address and/or have a website that is obviously spam.

All of their IP Addresses were banned too.

I also increased the complexity of the CAPTCHA - that image with the letters when you sign up where you have to type in the letters. That should help a lot.

For now, too, I have to manually approve each user, while I watch and see how well the more difficult captcha helps.

As always, please PM me if you see any more spam bots.

Thanks!
