Right, it didn't totally repel them since some aren't bots but real humans (sic) registering so I had to take some drastic measures to sort this out...
On top of a ban on recurrent annoying IPs and some obvious dodgy addresses the like of: @greatmedecineman.net, @new-purse.com, astfmonitor.com and so on I also had to temporarily block @gmail.com, this until Rytis comes in and try to figure out a solution.
I had the idea of adding a security question to whom only AC players could answer to: "How do you call a training map?" the answer being "gema", thing is it would restrict the site to AC players only and that is not really what I want, comments and ideas on this are welcomed.
I am also doing a big clean up (I'm Cleaner right? lol) on inactive members, some have registered way back in early 2008 and never came back to pay us a visit, some are even old bots who haven't been able to confirm registration...
Some people are not using the AKIMBO forum but are going straight onto the Vault to download material, for those doing so even if your account on the forum is deactivated it won't affect your account on the Vault, you will still be able to browse and download as usual (327,256 downloads so far :p )
If your account on the forum is deactivated by mistake just contact one of our moderators with your account details (user name and email used, not your password)
