Was getting sick of those 'bot programs cluttering up our thrift store over here.

Thanks for getting out the broom post-haste.

Cheers.

GB- What helps with preventing that is to have a question in the registration process that cannot be answered by a computer.  For example on one site I help administer (Where we discuss fuel economy) I put the question "What does the "G" stand for in MPG?"  The user has to answer "gallon" or the registration is rejected.  I'm sure you could come up with a similar topical question.

Thanks guys, I try...
There is a captcha already. I have to check on the permissions as the sneaky person seemed to be not really registered.

Bots can solve captchas now.  All they do is annoy the real people trying to register.  You need a question that a bot can't answer, but a real person can.
