Thanks for all of the reports. Naughty Boris isn't allowed on here anymore.

A handful more in the last 24 hours. I've changed one of the security questions for new registrations, so hopefully that will put off any new accounts by the spammers for a while. $:-\$

Thanks to those reporting these spammers. The Mod team cannot be on tap 24/7 so all help is gratefully received

Of course, spam, apart from being a meat delicacy (?), is just somebody reading maps backwards.

Today I've banned 3 x bots and we seem to be under attack.

If it's anything like the attack one of the forums I look after suffered a week or so ago - you'd be better just shutting registration down for a few days... I think someone got themselves a hard-drive full of email addresses & just went to town.
