    Hmm, over 50 through the night, absolutely sick to death of this..........more investigation required.
    This is having a serious impact on the site, we are falling way down the search engine searches.
    I'm of the opinion that we have been targeted at all costs.
    It's not spam bots, it has to be humans cause they are answering the questions during registration, nae happy

    There is nothing you can do against human registrants, well, you can't stop them registering, so, i've decided to go against my decisions and have opted for a plug in, efefctively not covered by vBulletin's help.
    It's from a reputable source so will be ok, it stops folks registering if their e-mail address isn't legit.

    Most of our problems are from people who just throw in a fake e-mail address, so, at least this will weed out that, again, fingers crossed

    Folks may have noticed a new object at the bottom of the main page, Spam O Meter, have a look at the amount of spam that has been stopped in one day.

    This highlights my problem, but now with this installed we have assistance
