From mid year there have been people registering on the forum, with stupid random letter names, but legitimate email accounts and they p[ass right through the registration system without fail.

We ahve hundreds or dormant accounts just waiting to spam.

I do clear them out regularly but the ones that are left spam whenever they want.

On the protonbasic forum, i've moved to moderator approved accounts, so after registration a mod has to approve or delete an account. Its killed the spammers, but it means that there is a small delay in the registration process.

I could implement that system here is you think that it would be less trouble to delete accounts than delete spam ?
