Hi,
I notice that there is many spam bots
so here is the idea
if you want to register you must put your mobile number and email

like you have to send using mobile SMS "ACTIVATE" then put the activation code from your email in the box your register complete

I hope BAILOPAN see this

Thanks

That would be very expensive and the administration already has much costs with the server protection.

Not gonna happen. It will be bypassed eventually.

the email activation already exists (when I made my account), but the phone thingy is almost the same, plus it's annoying (even email services don't force people to use their phone numbers).

in some other forums, new members aren't allowed to post links, use avatars, put something in their signature.. before to reach a certain amount of posts (8, 20, etc.).

They already have methods in place. The ones that you are seeing are only a very small percentage of the total amount that are trying.

This ^, the only ones you see are accounts that were registered by humans.

EDIT: Over 300 registrations yesterday were blocked by our anti-spam measures.
