Spam (no, not the canned meat - sorry)

can anything be done to make it more difficult to become a member ?

Perhaps if new members had to await conformation from the baron or something ?

Totally agree with you Andy.

That's what most other forums do to beat these bastards.

Good call.

I've just set the forum to require confirmation for new registrations, so hopefully that'll cut it down a lot.

If it continues then I can disable new registrations entirely until a fix is posted, maybe adopt a Demonoid-style of only accepting new registrations on certain days / times.

Sorry about all this, everyone.

Good call guys - seems to be working, even if it is a little extra work for Baron.

And no need for apologies Baron - in no way your fault! Just find out the addresses for these swines and lets all head round to give them a bloody good hiding?

So that's what the Action Force get up to in their days off from fighting the evil Enemy or is this a plot from the Baron to corrupt some more recruits to the Red Shadows

all you need to do is have it set up so people message & ask to join, including their reasons why they want to join.
if they know nothing about anything the site covers, or they seem like a dick just refuse!

There will no doubt be an update for the forum software soon.

As ever, please don't respond to the spam threads. They generate auto-notification e-mails which flag the account as being active. I delete all spam accounts and posts, and unfortunately all replies along with them.
