New users will now have to answer an intelligence-testing question before they can create an account. This should stop cold the spam we've been getting.
Hint: the answer is 'pumpkin'.

Re: new user creation
I think it works. No spam yet.
Some people like to watch the world burn, I'm one of those people.
Re: new user creation
Did you enable captcha or simply leap straight to this. Because some spammers are human and can circumvent this once again. You can ban them, sure, but more keep on pouring in until you have 30 different spammers cluttering the forum. Taking into consideration how easily 'pissed off' you can be, that can become a real hassle.
My two cents.

We had a captcha, but we still got spammed. With this none. So shush it!Epsilon wrote:Did you enable captcha or simply leap straight to this.

Re: new user creation
Thank you for the clarification, although there is no need to 'shush', I have every right to voice my opinion.
Re: new user creation
CAPTCHA ceased to be useful for more than the stupidest bots a few years ago. The question method isn't bad.
