We’ve made minor changes to the security and spam filtering processes in the forums, the changes should make it harder for spam and junk to get onto the forums. However it will also make the registration process take a bit longer. The big changes are we enabled captcha (picture of letters) and made it a bit harder then before. If you have trouble with this part of the registration process, e-mail an admin and we can help you out. The other change is that we now check user ips against lists of known spam generators. This is the part that may take a bit of time. However this added time shouldn’t add more then a few minutes to the time it takes to get the confirmation e-mail.
Hopefully this should help keep spam bots in check even more.
