Thing is, they are able to register but not post at the moment. There are a few things we can do, but they involve a major site overhaul, which Aymat has said he doesn't want to do until he can do it properly. I'll have a word, see if we come up with any ideas.

Yeah you could ask each new member to include a photo of themselves, and say no to the ones who look like this:

ROFL!!! Thats awesome John.

In the meantime,I'm not too bothered about the bots registering, they don't seem to be able to post atm. I'm vaguely intriugued as to why they are registering and not posting... there must be a reason. I'll follow it.

But there is, getting rear ended by a bot sm81

We could of course ask the ultimate question in registration form, it would require bots to build world largest computer to find out what ultimate question is, then that computer must build another even bigger planet size computer to find answer to that question, which would take million of years and still it would be run over by road construction work just before answer would be found.

Well, that would keep them busy for good amount of time, right? :)
