There are a few spam bots that appear to be signing up to our boards. We may be forced to add anti-bot protection if it continues.

Hope it's stopped Tongue

I'd noticed a lot of new members with kinda strange usernames... but none of them actually posted anything, which was quite odd for spam accounts surely?

Yes ... I think they're not very good on the posting side of things Tongue

I checked the names/IPs/emails against a spam blacklist, and deleted those known as spam bots.

Although, yes, it is peculiar Tongue

I added an image verification for users registering. Hopefully that should help stop the bots.
