I don't like spambots.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That won't change anything. Registration on this forum isn't automatic. An admin must approve it.

Why do you hate Ms. ICD Press?  She seems nice.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

What's all this then?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Its already enabled.  Apparently, the version embedded in SMF is, at this point, almost useless.

I'm going to try switching to verification questions instead.

While you're at it, do you think you could purge the 16,000 pending registrations that have piled up?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Did a quick and dirty manual edit in the DB that banned every pending registration.  I'd like to keep the accounts on the books so that I can look for an exploitable pattern to block.

I hate those things, they're hard.
I prefer it when simple questions are asked.
