    Wow...this is crazy. Looks like the captcha is not working properly. I will prune these spammers first, and will see what is causing this to happen. Luckily they didn't activate the account via email.

    This is crazy. The spammers wouldn't stop. I have to disable registration completely...

    Looks like it stopped after I changed to a tougher NoSpam question. Only human can answer. :lol:

    Another couple of spammers getting through in the General Hardware section... a new security update needed, or just a bunch of donkeys manually registering and posting spam? :think:

    No idea, I'm cleaning them almost everyday now. Let me msg the admins.

    Crap, I forgot to clean them. Yea, these are human spammers, can't avoid them completely. Just did some changes, hopefully will deter them a bit more.
