Hi Everyone.
Since I have come back from my break, I have noticed this forum has been experiencing more spam accounts with generic code like names. I have an idea for the registration process, although I admit it won't solve the whole problem.
If we added a laser question to the registration process, it may deter the lazy spammers, only leaving the more deterministic of the spammers. If a spammer wants to register, he will most likely not want to have to google the answer and will move on to another forum. It may also deter the some of the less sensible individuals you only want to get their hands on their next play toy/weapon. Like I already said, it won't solve all our issues, but it may decrease or at least control the problem. Which would leave this forum for those that are serious about the hobby or genuinely want to learn something.
