Hey Guys

We are seeing some spam and will see some more before we get it eradicated.

The reason is that we have switched new account registration strategies.

One of the worst things we can do is have a guy wanting to post and can't registered. Previously we had it set to where a moderator had to inspect and approve accounts. This ment that a guy couldn't post right away while his motivation to post was still high.

What we did was move to a verification question system where people who can answer a challenge question are automatically approved.


In the beginning I had what sport did Michael Jordan play? That was too easy and a lot of manual spammers knew the answer.

I stiffened up the question. Now it's What is Ken Griffey Jr's rookie card year? Anyone who answers 1989 will be automatically approved.


Accounts that got in with the easy question are occasionally spamming and will be deleted. Just tag me if you see spam.
