Admin/Mods,

We need an "Are you Human" verification for the forums. Over the past week I have seen almost a dozen spam accouts created. Adding this will solve the problem.

Something like "Solve this math problem"

5I/3<5U?

Or just 5*5+5.

Ones I have seen is either "type YES" or "Type the following code".

If we were to do that though, we'd have nothing to ban... :P

Just sayin.

Actually, this is a great idea. And if you can sit tight for a bit, we'll see what we can do.

Admin/Mods,

We already have both a human verification and a picture verification field required to join the forums. I don't know if we had it back in 2007 when you joined, but its been in place for at least 2 years.

The human verification consists of answering a question such as AmEv suggested AND there is a captcha style picture where you must enter 6 letters/numbers that appear in an image.

When it was put in place it did decrease the amount of spammers joining, but it does not eliminate it.
