spammers

Well, there were at least 100 attempts to register accounts today alone.
None were successful.

It looks like the new questions and validations I added to the software are helping, so far.
I'm sure a few smart spammers will get through and we'll have to change the questions and validations.

For now though, I'm spared the work of having to delete the boneheads and ban them.
Not sure why they bother since their attempts to post links to their websites are not visible to search engines and they aren't allowed to post smut here since all new members are moderated.

You think they'd realize it was a waste of time and move on, but apparently they're not very smart.
