Some of you probably have noticed we've been hit with a spam bot attack. I am not a fan of spam bots and I am to attack this issue with every trick I have in the book.

Starting with adding a captcha to at least slow them down a bit, then adding spam bot prevention to attack them on a server based level instead of letting them create accounts on the fly. If none of these work, then the last resort will be to IP ban them on server-level...

If you see any spam threads, please refrain from posting on them as they will be deleted anyway and the spam bots banned from the whole site.

Sorry for any inconvenience this attack may have caused.
