Actually, I still have been manually approving accounts-- the strange thing is, I can only approve them after they have verified their email address. The bulk of these accounts, haven't. Even still, I get about 20-30 junk/spam accounts a day that need to be rejected. I am kinda thinking about turning off registration again, at least for a little bit. Perhaps having some sort of post in the OMB section that says "Hey! here is how you get in contact to set up your account!" Because it is kinda ridiculous dealing with this day in and day out.
I don't know though, what do you guys think?
I think it's too easy to register. Just put in an email and password... not even a captcha or anything. I'm sure there's a plugin somewhere to do that?
Yeah, I'm going to guess that there is likely a bot which searches for specific forums it can apply to, or perhaps there is a list of Xenforo forums out there which is already knows how to by pass specific spam checks.
Every now and again, if I happen to slip up or be unable to see for sure if an account is a bot or not-- it may. Although, streetlights' I believe, is usually pretty quick at catching them and deleting them when they post.
coming soon.....
