Is there anyway for you guys to implement a random security code check whenever a new user register at the forums? That would block out alot of the bots. They are getting annoying.

I'm sure you guys in charge are far more knowledgable in these sorts of issues, but just a suggestion. On the UCL board we have an invisible field that only spam bots will see and fill in (cuase human users won't know its there), and if its filled in then that user doesn't get registered and enters a little list which our mods use to delete the users and ban IP and email addresses. Just an idea.

Image verification is usually the easiest method and works quite well.
