So.....I think we've all seen all of these spam threads about stupid crap you can buy for cheap..There's like 10 different accounts doing it, but this guy http://tf2rj.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=332 is mainly who's causing the ruckus. Get 'em!

We should get like a picture letter verification thing for every new account created, or thisis going to keep happening.

Yeah, got em.  John and I probably deleted like 100 accounts in the past 12 hours...  Gonna try to tighten up on registration requirements.

Good! I remember a forum I used to be on also had this problem. Like I said, having the picture letter verification code thing for every new account created can help a ton!

Now there's a captcha thing for all new registrations, and for posts for users with under 2 previous posts, and also an image verification thing.. We'll see if that's enough.

Changed the captcha to actual recaptcha instead of the built-in SMF captcha for more security since it looked like bots were still able to create accounts, but not post.
