Anyone else get a pm from this new poster. I've not opened it. Title is 'Spam Protection' and there's a clicky saying 'Read new rules'

Sneaky bugger must know I crave pm's

there's a lot of pm spam about on forums these days

PM to the gorgeous pouting Ness

now don't say I'm not a kind man

I got one as well yes... deleted.

IZ.

he also me.

everyone, but everyone has fallen oot wi me

Not me ya fat nosed huskey thingy.

No PM to me.....yet

But is there a way to filter the spam registrations here?

Can the registration include a question & answer part?
Doesn't need to be mensa level.
Just a simple question that the bots won't be able to answer.

like "what color (note spelling) are your pants"?

That's a good idea. We've set up a couple of questions to answer when registring to Dawnrazor and it has worked out well for us.

One of my security questions on an internal system is "What did Gift cost?" Not difficult to answer for a fan, but pretty much impenetrable for a spamster.

gensurik will not be bothering anyone else under that username any longer.

There has been a notable spike in spammers lately, after a much-appreciated lengthly lull. QB knows about it.

Those spikes match with Sister tours temporarily, methinks. Coincidence?

Was it also in orange?

Brrrr....

Pants question isn't possible. Not sure how legitimate newbies would feel when registering their current pant hue though
& if they were "going commando" that would also be awkward.

Any question really, but with a simple answer that anyone knows & before you say, "everyone knows what colour (note the spelling) pants they are wearing", there is a good chance there will be an assortment.
Mmmmmm.....thinks "database"......

The answer needs to be something uniform & simple.
The bots won't get through that.

sorted.

your inboxes should now be free of PMs from him...

what about the pants?

brrrrrrr. s-s-s-s-s-so c-c-c-c-c-c-cold....
