Currently we, along with many other Invision boards, are getting dozens and dozens of spam registrations per day.

To protect the server and the forum, registration now includes a custom field to filter out automated spammers, as a very simple question.

If you have registered in the past week, but are still waiting for an approval email - please re-register, as your details were almost certainly lost in clearing out the vast number of spam registrations.

It doesn't even need to be random to avoid this recent problem. It's 'Mars is known as the what coloured planet (lower case)?'. That just stops the automated spamming. Manual spammers may well still get through - but I've not had more than a handful of spammers in the last year that I've had to pick up at the approval stage
