Re: What about spam?
Spam bots are being banned on the sight, i will make the captcha a bit harder to understand (even for humans)
Anyone has the script to make Rapidshare like captchas?

Re: What about spam?
Those spam bots are annoying... i cant make the captcha more harder because then even humans couldt recognize it i will try to change the font to something more hard.
Any ideas are welcome

Re: What about spam?
I'll reiterate my recommendation... but then I have no idea how hard it would be to do it =\
1- You create an account
2- There is an 'introduction section' on the forum (only section where new members can post)
3- The new members need to post an introduction there(it would allow us to get to know each other a bit too
):
* Who are they?
* What is their interest on this forum?
4- Once they introduce themselves a moderator/administrator gives them access to the rest of the forum.
(I'm sure this could be automated too)
there is something somewhat like this on http://l2jfr.jeun.fr

Not sure about TheOne' or Kerberos_20 solution, because this forum is not so much frequented by l2j staff and all new members will wait for days..imho.
