Yes, good people...that's the number of attempted forum signups we've had from spammers in the few months since we upgraded the forum software and installed a semi-automated spammer detection process. Believe it or not, even li'l old Filmwasters.com gets around 150 attempts every 24 hours....and even though the protection system is somewhat automated we still need to get involved every time to make sure that the software hasn't rejected people unfairly, or missed spammers that it should have caught.
I mention this only because the number astonishes even me and also to explain why sometimes there can be a delay in your forum signup request being approved.....often there are 3 legitimate requests hidden amongst 400 spammers and we have to deal with them in blocks of 50.
Anyway, so far so good (touch wood), FW has remained relatively spam free.
