I have to agree with you. The guy seems like a human, going around gaming forums and spamming. Because he not only broke through the image verification and the nospam addon, but even broke through tags for creating threads.. So I guess hes a human spammer, paid to spam at forums.

As for the no siggy for new users, I should really implement that for sure.

Thanks for your help

Just noticed.. no option for limiting sigs etc..in usergroups or vboptions... Unless a new usergroup is created?
