We are getting to odd pornyspam here aren't we. I've seen other places get loads and I s'pose, further, that there isn't much we can do about it.

Is it 'mostly harmless'?

Fortunately I just travelled back from Brighton and checked out the forum before going to work. Deleated it and banned the sender and IP address. Nick must be busy.

Hope you are well Andrew,

Paul

Yep, I missed it.

I have changed the process to register a new user, to require auth from the user, so it places a bit more requirement on the user at least having a valid email address.

The next step will be to require a admin to ok all new members.

I would prefer not to have to do that if I can, but we will have to see how it goes.

Cheers. I added additional anti spam checks the day before yesterday, and since then have had no additional members to delete.
