Hello I am noticing spam appearing here on this site. I was to believe that this was a more private site than x-sim 2 and so such spam would not appear.
Can something be done to the registration process, either it is flawed or being hacked.

I've changed the anti spambot setting to a simple question instead of a captcha image, hope this helps!
What do the first two buttons of the main menu say? (use caps & separate with a space) Hint: "Ho...... F...m"

Both captcha are the answer to a zero spam solution.
You can also block the IP addresses range of this spamers, they are equal.
Then you can contact the mysql database and delete them out of the database instad using the GUI of the forum. One click, one range mark and they are gone.
If a answer is correct or did help you for a solution, please use the solve button.
