Hello everyone,

I've noticed over the last few weeks that there has been a lot of "spammers" registering on the forum.

A so called "mrsakil" is the newest one:
mrsakil's Signature
sewer repair Oakland CA plumbers offering plumbing repair, drain cleaning, sewer repair, trenchless sewer replacement, sewer cleaning and all other plumbing services. Free video inspection.

Is there a fault with the forum's security or something?

Nope. There's no security issue, but spamming registrations are always going to be an ongoing problem, due to the revenue associated with it. The only option to cut it out altogether is to moderate every new registration. Other forums do this, but I'd say it's far from an ideal solution.
