Bots can be fooled with that image activation thing. But I see your point.

As far as I can tell, almost all of the 'spambot' members have been real people typing at real computers. Not auto-bots.

also did anyone else notice a new member not long ago actually managed to register and was on the forums with the name 'madebyMS1029toannoyAlcar'.

Strangely, the 'Newest Member' thing displays the most recently registered member, not the most recently approved member. That user account was blocked immediately.
FYI, I regularly check the list of users awaiting approval. I use my innate bullshit sensor to see which ones seem trustworthy and everyone else (being approximately 90%) get checked against a known list of forum spammers. For every spammer that invades our forum, 10-20 are blocked at the gates. That's why we need the approval process and that's why we have so little spamvertising.
