Since tvrage went down, you, Iceman, became a lot more active, and so did this forum, but that has also attracted spammers.

Is there a way to report spammers, so their nonsense is removed faster? (i know this can be a fulltime job sometimes, the bigger the forum, the more they attract these annoying bots).

There are a few moderators, we could always use more. Smile

we're keeping the spammers deleted whenever we pick up on them, but yes, there are more again!

I am adding some captcha to the registration form.
That should take care of the auto created bots.

I've only spotted two spam posts in the last week, both removed.

The register page is now using googles reCaptcha v2.0 Smile

Hope this will make it harder for the bots.
