They do go to my spam folder- it is funny how many I get though- I just delete thrm all {up}

I also get some rather odd ones from members of the forums, asking for addresses to be changed etc :|

What if members were to be approved before posting?

But I suppose theres really no way of telling if a member is a spammer or not unless they have porn/pill URL's in their profile etc.

Oh yeah I just looked, I completely forgot we had it. Is there anyway of enhancing it? :roll:

The "code verification" feature is already enabled. The bots have (somehow) found a way around it. :?

I really think an 'enter code' would work. Many places have them to avoid spammers :roll:

could it be set up so you would have to respond to an email before you get membership?
