Spammers are relentless

I think it's high time the forum had either or both of:

  • A "prove you're human" thingy when a new member enrolls
  • A requirement for a mod to release a new member's first post

I alert mods to 5-6 spams a day.....

And mods "disappear" as many accounts before they even get the chance to spam . . . :smiling_imp:

We were promised new anti-spam features with the new forum.

We were promised new anti-spam features with the new forum.

Whereas it now takes ever so slightly longer to report spam as the tick box option has gone, and we have to type it!

I am not getting any email notification about spam whatsoever.
