Deleted as much as i can i dont have admin rights on other forum sections. Maybe a post limit of new users 1 post per day No idea what is happening except that the bots are spamming more and more websites each day.

I'm doing what I can but the moderators certainly need to help. I am trying to increase the level of difficulty to verify an account. Outside of requiring an admin approval the board is currently vulnerable. I am looking for another form of human verification. I am absolutely disgusted at how many new bots just showed up. 56 registrations in 1 day is absurd.

I think 1 post per day for new user is fair , but We can't stop them for coming in ......
How about email activation ?

Good news is I stopped the bots from entering. Bad news is I broke the registration process. Working on fixing it now. -PK

Well our new fortifications seem to be working. Best thing is that it is adjustable so if the bots figure it out I can change the challenge question.

Well I guess one russian vs. 56 regular bots ain't too bad. I'm going to try and make it a little harder.
