I'm thinking you need better spam protection. I'm seeing spam posts all over the board.

Indeed, I think I need to install a mod to require users to make 5 post before they can add links.

I added a security question to the Mxproject registration form to see if it stops some bots from registering.

I plan on adding a MOD to make a user post 5 post before they can post a link sometime next week or later.

I agree, and it does not annoy the non-spammer members with less then 5 posts who want to post non-spam links to useful articles, and YouTube video links to share. The registration question seems to be working if I don't get much human spam. I might not install the 5 post to post links mod.

the question will work, hard to say how long until bots can over come it though.
