Spam by the case lot!

I know admin is already aware of the spam attacks, and doing a great job removing and trying to fight it. This latest one, Jan 13 12:59 PM MST (GMT -7), as probably the first to spot it, I thought I'd try to flag it. Don't see that option, but I know phpBB supports it. I'd like to say, though, at least they have been confining themselves to "Off Topic"! Do we need to have the first dozen posts of a new member monitored?

You can't flag it, but you can report it by clicking on the \!/ icon, such reports will work kinda like autotracking for the staff BanCannons ;)

Also not 100% effective, not for the human spammer variety.

I did add something new though for the registration process. Should catch and weed out any spam bots that may have defeated the registration question (will have to look into it)
