Very early this morning (Sydney time :wink: ), we have applied two additional modifications to the registration and posting procedures which are intended to minimise the number of spam registrations.

Since then no new spam registrations have occured and 6 attempted registrations have been blocked.

We don't expect the spam registrations to completely stop however we do expect a significant drop. Now hopefully we can spend time on useful things!
