				Seems to be more these days. Are they getting around that special code you need to put in to register?

				When the registration system was broken i did a big update.
it removed the sign up question.
a number of accounts were created in this period (including the spammer from this morning)
i re-added the sign up question and it should hopefully resolve things.
If we do get more, just check when the user signed up.
if it was before the 3rd of march then it was before i put the question back in place.

				Ah cool.
I banned that one this morning but cbf deleting each thread individually. I figured you would just delete his account with 1 click.

				just delete the email, theres nothing i can do about that.
the question we put in place 2 years ago was working, the only reason they're getting past is because the question wasnt in place.
