I'm seeing an increase in threads containing spam messages. Please make it harder for bots to post spam on our forum. Thanks :)

The General Chat section is quite messed up. We should have some forum guidelines or at least proper thread titles.

It seems like the spam bots are increasingly able to decode the reCaptcha images. I suspect it could be because a human is helping the bot decode the image while the bot does the rest of the registration job. To make things harder for the bot/spammer, I've replaced the reCaptcha images with random questions under the user registration page.
