We've been under attack by bots who have created tons of spam accounts for a long time. Over the past few weeks, the trickle has turned into a flood. Something will be done about it eventually, but for now, I'm just reviewing every registration by hand.

I'm not spam!

Oh jeeze Will, that must be hard to do one by one!

Not really. Spammers have been breaking the more common ones. GMail and Yahoo's have been broken, for example.

Just click the report button and it notifies a few of us.
We keep swapping out the captcha and adding different mods trying to prevent the spam. Kelly (Trolan) just added a mod where it checks the registering IP address against a black list and that seems to have helped... plus we made it admin approval for any new users.
