Latley there have been a TON of spammers signing up for our site. Is there a way to stop this? Its weird they started doing this alot all at once. I have been away for a while and not sure if i missed a update or something?

You could moderate new members, plus I've found that this helps, though I'm sure there are lots of other mods, as well: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=162642

nice idea but majority of them when they register have legit email to confirm. i use that spam url.You must have 5 post in order to post url's.It work great for me ;)
