Charlie, have you noticed any decrease in the number of spambots creating new accounts?

I am glad that it seemed to have helped, then. I know that people are still able to register legitimate accounts after the change, too, as I had Roy do that just to test and see if I had managed to break something else.

I just went through the member list and found two old spammer accounts that had gotten lost in the shuffle behind newer legitimate accounts. Otherwise there have not been any new spammer accounts for the last week.

Mission Accomplished, Tyrel. :)
