I know I am kinda straying away from the rules of part 2 here, but I think this is good as time to discuss this issue as any.

The damn spam bots. Isn't there any better ways to prevent them from registering? I'm no expert on editing a message board, and I know there is an image verification when someone registers, but would it be possible to put a captcha there instead? It stopped bots from attacking 4chan, so it has to be good for a much smaller message board like this one.

Failing that, wouldn't having multiple questions to be answered be a better safeguard? Nothing too ridiculous, but maybe three or four simple questions?
