It is a hard and fast rule that you must make an introductory post withing 48 hours of registering. Buh-Bye.
Might as well change it to 24 or less. I figure if you want to be a member participate. Sorry I haven't been on in a while.
Good ridance. Its a shame you can't find a way to automate it, or just keep them out.
I haven't been on in a week or so. Sorry about all thew new spammers. I spent 40 minutes deleting SPAM posts and banning new SPAM registration.
I hope the 4 of you who joined this form appreciate it. LOL.
Wow, three different types of anti spam and you still have issues...
I hope having to answer them all just to make a post goes away after I make a few posts.

Three? that's new. I hope it works.

Yeah, it goes away. I don't recall how many posts it was, but it wasn't to many.
I'm not going to say how many, because dedicated spammers would write bots to defeat it and then flood the forums. I've deleted more spam posts on this forum than there are actual posts including my own.
I did add a remote captcha. Its an older captcha scheme, but it seems to have eliminated about 90% of the spammer/fake registrations. I also think I turned off one of the built in anti spam measures.
However many it is its more than two. LOL.
Still three anti spam measures.

Still three anti spam measures, but atleast I don't have to look up the answers to a half dozen questions at the end. LOL
