Any news on this, Baz? Im not using internet as much these days and everytime i check my emails ive loads of accounts to check, usually 50+, i was away on holiday this week and come back to over 100 and in all honesty i just delete the emails and be done with it, its just getting rediculous now.

Not sure if this is done already, but surely some sort of word verification can be added? Or at least some way of taking out the automation in the process?

crazy ennit rob, really busy at the mo so not had chance to update the captcha, there is one in place at the mo but they are getting round it, unfortunately because you are admin also you get all the account registrations emailed to you, i am dealing with activating them so carry on deleting them.will try and get this sorted asap as its driving me up the wall too.

on another point if there is any spammers that i let through please drop me a PM so i can delete them.

That last one that I banned and locked his thread was hard to spot MM even replied to his post.....................LOL

Clearly they are getting smarter if you are not picking them up before activating......................

This is a good data base that records known spammers just search with either the user name or IP or even email addy and if he's kown then you can delete.
