    Default Captcha added to registration?

    With the (albeit small) group of spam accounts we've had lately, I was just wondering if it'd be possible to add a captcha (or some other type of verification) to the registration process? It wouldn't be fool-proof, of course, but I think it could help quite a bit.

    Just a suggestion.

    Experience suggests it'd be wide to set it to the strictest setting.

    Good idea, in that it takes care of the spambots. Now we just need a way to keep out the human trolls.

    Most forums and websites I go to have unique icons that show up besides the url listings. These are nice because since they allow me to reduce my bookmarks to a single icon with no text and I have like twenty forums on my bookmarks toolbar.
    Is there any chance bleeding cool could get one? I hear that all you need is an .ico file with the right name in the right place.

    I only get here by bookmark. I'd say more but I can't afford a banning.

    yeah, good idea, we'll do that. I gotta buff up the logo today anyway, and was thinking of doing a smaller "BC" version in addition.
