yeah, I switched to recaptcha and as you see the majority of the spammers say they broke recaptcah 2.

At any rate, I changed to a new question, who is the creator of trainwreck amps, answer ken fisher

So hopefully that will keep bots at bay for a while.

If anyone you know is trying to get in, and can't that's the answer.

The correct spelling is Fischer ;^)

Maybe you could ask some elementary theory question. Sort of an entrance exam.

I would have never got in the door when I signed up back in 2007 if I had to answer that question. :mrgreen:

Hi Guys:
Hi Leo!
I haven't been here in a long time.
I'm one of the Super Mods at the MEF.
I check each new member for the following
1.Check to see if duplicate member
2.Check the members IP, and IP location lookup
https://iplocation.com/
3 Check to see if the IP is on any blacklist
4 Check posts for Spam.
If necessary, ban the member.
Russia, and Ukraine was the main culprits of all the Spam, back in late winter, and early spring.
All of a sudden most of it quit.
GL,
Terry
