Really guys come on this is very easy!
as said by IB:
OK, for the time being new user registrations are moderated. That means that when someone signs up, they go into a queue. If Stu sees anything suspicious about their account, they get the axe. The other thing is that I've just installed a mod that asks a very easy question whenever you send a PM. Any human with a couple of neurons to fire together can answer the questions, but a script that sends spam automatically will have a hard time. The questions are things like: how many cylinders does a Cosworth engine have, who is buried in Grant's tomb, what is two plus five, what color was the white horse of Napoleon, etc.
so really, it isnt that hard!!! trust me it will be worth it!

If so, here are a few answers for you, just keep hitting refresh till you get the right question:
The Taurus SHO had an optional Yamaha V8. How many cylinders would that be?
8
Type the word wozniak into the following box.
wozniak
You look in an engine bay and see a square metal box sitting on top of the engine. At the end of the box is a pulley, and a belt that goes to the crank pulley. It seems to be set up to force air into the engine. What is this called?
supercharger
What was the color of the white horse of Napoleon?
white
The Escort RS Cosworth was sold in the 1990s by what company?
ford
You are in the northern hemisphere. Does summer begin in June or December?
June
What is two plus five?
7
Seriously is there anyone on here who cant answer those?
If so, I dont think they deserve PM's anyway

because, accoridng to my reserach (ie reading the posts) the spam is sent by a bot (whatever they are) and so is automatic
and one of them bot thigns won't be able to figure out what google is and then put the question into it to extrapolate an answer
i'm sure mr admin so wanted everyone to give you a but i don't thin anyone will 
also, benni, the answer isn't "hoova" either

Afraid not - what admin is saying is that the initial registration process is being carried out by a human but the username/password details are then entered into a spam bot programme that then attempts to spam this and other sites

No, admin is saying that the bot has been replaced by human spammers, hence why it is a question and not a CAPTURE - where you have to type in numbers and letter seen on a picture : obviously a human spammer can see and type these. Backing that up, look at the posts and replies these spammers have made, the human element is blatent;
