Spam Attempt Averted by Manual Member Approval Queue


Recommended Posts

Just to let everyone know, yesterday we had over 100 registrations originating from Russia in an attempt to spam the site. If you wonder why there is a manual approval process for new members, and why there are multiple challenge questions to be able to register, this is the reason. Every once in a while, the spammers figure out the challenge question answers, which is what occurred yesterday. I added more questions as a result. Just an FYI...

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
