Default Increasing number of spam accounts

Seems like every other new account is a spammer.

Whatever you guys are doing to keep them from posting seems to be working.



Good job!

Manual account approvals.. annoying but it's the only way really to do it at this point.

Maybe I should try one of those skill testing questions? "Who is the captain of the Flames" kind of thing, something the spammers in China would probably not bother trying to answer.

Might keep out some of the 'fairweather fans' and trolls too...

Another one: What team does Calgarypuck cheer for?

(put in obvious questions that bots just can't answer)

How stupid do you have to be to register on a moderated forum as "phoness?"
