Is anybody else getting tons of user registrations that have spam in the user pages and the usernames are soemthing like "180 buy Viagra"?
I haven't had a chance to test it but doesn't the keyword blacklist block the usage of those words in usernames and userpages?
Also is there a better captcha available.. this bot is getting around the math question
