I take care of them as soon as I see them, but they are starting to get annoying again...
I've already disallowed a lot of E-Mail addresses which they use to register, like some .in and .ru adresses, but also outlook and now hotmail addresses.
While it keeps them from registering with those E-Mail adresses, it also keeps actual users from registering if they have a hotmail or outlook adress (or .ru which i think I have entirely blocked...).
So it's just a bad workaround...
But since the spam bots (at least im certain that they are spam bots, because a human wont go through the trouble of registering in a small forum like this where only a few people could see their posts)
seem to be solving the security questions somehow , I'll have a look for a better solution, maybe something like captcha.
