......

I could go on. Just look at the 'Who was here' bit at the bottom of the main forum page. Pick out all the new names, all their profile fields are filled, websites such as 'cheapestchanelbags.com' and jobby. Most accounts registered, stuck around for 2 mins and then haven't been back.

You'll be glad to know, these are not bots registering, but people manually filling out the registration forms - which we can't actually stop for obvious reasons :lol:

Have changed the "are you human question" at registration, just in case someone has cached it.

What about the several with the same PS3 account info? Surely that's suspect. :|

you could change the registration so that an Admin has to approve the account. its a pain in the ass and extra work for the Admin but it keeps the spam away.
