Hi everyone,
We got spammed by two new forum accounts this weekend. I've removed the accounts, but it begs the question ... how did this happen?
Forum registration requires a "type the numbers in the image" check and a "click this email" authentication check before posting is allowed.
This means the accounts could both read funky image numbers *and* clicked through the link from their inbox (with a valid email address).
Either spambots have gotten smarter or these were actual humans, which we can't really protect against without requiring moderator approval of all new accounts.
Anyway, just letting you all know that I'm watching, researching, and considering the problem carefully.
Take care, Tim
