I just deleted about a hundred spambots, but we can probably expect more. Antony is working on the problem (they're having it at Trek BBS and Talk CSI too). In the meantime, I think I'm going to switch to manual confirmation of new members. It's a hassle for real people -- and yes, we do get one now and then -- but it should keep the bots from actually posting. I for one am sick of those same damn two pictures. Where's the variety?
ETA: Huh! I just noticed that our CAPTCHA system isn't actually turned on. I'll try that first and see how many bots still get through.
