I can't help but notice since I check this site almost everyday, and it's like every other day someone spams(mainly in the General section) something about dvd burning software... Boring..
Anyways let me know what you guys think...

We get a lot of spam all the time. The reason you don't see more of it is because the site admins & I continually ban the spammers by e-mail address and retroactively delete all of their posts.

We do have some spam blocks in place - this tends to block the automated spammers - but these DVD burning folks are pretty tenacious.

Cheers,
Paul

OK, thanks..
I knew all that I just didn't want you admins' to make the site registration any harder, because that "Confirmation code" is really hard to get by.. :oops: :cry:
If you want you could add more questionnaires, but I don't think more questions at registration would help much...
Also, it took me almost a week to register when I fist wanted to be a part of this site, the reason it took me soo long was because of the confirmation code I always didn't get it, but a least I got lucky one day... :mrgreen:
