There has been alot of spambots in the site latly.
I suggest adding a random text generator.
Like on other sites, it tells you to type in what is randomly generated.
If you put that in when people register, there will be less and less spambots raping the site.

We installed the text generator, and it's still not working. Don't think we haven't tried that. We can't release information on what we're doing to fix the problem yet. Sorry.

A lot of spambots these days aren't actually bots, but people thinking they're getting paid to spam up forums.

They're mostly spambots. There are ways to tell if they are not, but about 95% of them are automatic.

There is a clever system being discussed. Let us worry about that.
