    Damn spam.

    Guys, I am dealing with some things that don't need to be made public (all is well, so don't worry -mods are aware from mod forum post). I unfortunately have not seen how bad spam has become. Although I am taking some time away I am going to implement the additional security this weekend as this is taxing to my mods, and I have the best mod team on the net and they deserve better.

    I added a registration question, I will check in occasionally and see if it is helping. This will cause everyone who has an account already to answer it before they can post again. Please let me know if this becomes and issue and I will remove it.

    Tapatalk wouldn't let me go to my profile and answer the question, so I had to go on the computer. Other than that, all seems to work great.

    Damn, that is potentially an issue I didn't think about. The question feature is built into the forum software, so I can't edit it's core functions. Ideally I wouldn't want to have current users forced into it. If you guys here more about it, let me know and I will remove it and look for a third party option.

    I've been watching a lot of banned bots going to their profile to modify it tonight. Won't matter if they figure it out, since they are banned, though. Will be watching the new members to see how it goes and just how smart these bots are.

    23 hours has passed and we have been spam-free so far. Seems to be working. Forum seems quieter, though. Wondering if some on Tapatalk haven't been able to access profile via computer yet. Time will tell.
