Spam account creation

I and the other admin/mods have been deleting them. I must have deleted 20+ over the last two days.

Presumably they can still post in "Registration Issues" even if they cant get past all of the other security? That's where all the spam messages seem to be. Good work by admin / moderators to limit it to that though.

No, they can't get past that page, it's annoying but we are deleting them till we find a workable solution

I appreciate that. I wasn't criticising - just grateful that there's only one section they can get to.

we should all chip in and employ a hacker who could search and destroy their drives

but good work at keeping them caged in just one section

Just thinking out loud here....
In the same way that NSFW posts only show up in us pervert's posts once we have joined the group

could registration issues be the same with only mods or admin in the group?
After all why would any genuine member need / want to get involved with someone having log in problems?
Even if it was a genuine post I imagine only a mod would be able to help.

Just a thought.
