I am sick and tired of all the spam memberships.

What works best to eliminate them? I never had this problem on MyBB its a real pain

Thanks

You didn't had that on MyBB because the spammers are getting more and more active...

The registration question has kept them out so far. They could look it up in Wikipedia if they were dedicated, but I figure my target users will know it easy enough. No complaints so far, and I've got captcha turned off entirely.

I banned weiwei's IP.

I then edited his account to send emails to tips@fbi.gov
