We're going to try this for a little while to handle the spam problem. The questions are all really easy.

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!

The answer to "What is the last name of the person who is buried in Grant's tomb?"

The last name of the person who is buried in Grant's tomb is Grant.

I will take out these two questions.

i almost didn't see it tucked away at th ebottom

but it asked what color (notice the american speeling) napolens white horse was

and the answer was white

and it was correct

and lo, i did send and recive a pm form myself

if that's what it takes to get rid of the spam prom pm's then it's fine and dandy with me, but, as pointed out, some of the questions are a bit americanised for us

but at least things are happening to to the guys who thought of this clever idea
