Just recently, we've been receiving a huge number of account registrations from Russian spambots. They are all easily able to evade the CAPTCHA anti-spambot measure, so I've changed it so that everyone registering for an account now has to answer a question. Note that none of these bots will ever make it onto the forum, as it has always been my policy to personally activate EVERY account application over the last 19 years. The tedium lies in deleting all the applications from the list
The question has been set to something fairly simply for now, although it could be considered an easy riddle. Hopefully it will stop a lot of the bots from being able to register, but if it doesn't I may need to make the question harder, or add other questions.
I'll be keeping an eye on it ...
