Making it more difficult to join - to stop spammers

(1/4) > >>

GrayMK5GTI:
Evening guys,

The amount of Russian spam cr@p that is being posted is getting more frequent. Could we make it more difficult / lengthy to join the forum to put these guys off?

stealthwolf:
I've just had a look at the registration process and there's

1. a captcha
2. Question about capitals.
3. Another question about capitals.
4. A maths question
5. A question about GTIs.
6. Another maths question
7. Type in some text

TBH if they're putting the effort in to get past that, there's not much you can do to stop. Other than maybe having a waiting period eg 10 days before being able to post.

I thought you was having a laugh and looked at it myself, and you're absolutely right, i think they might also change too as the questions i saw had 3 maths q's!

Is it possible to make their first posts by approval only?
