Also you can contact your ISP, and they will tell you what it is. I know of quite a few online NZ business's who now only allow signup from NZ ISPs, or .nz email addresses, and if you don't have one, you have to email them manually to signup. |

| 647601 | 2008-03-12 02:47:00 | Why restrict the forum to NZ users ? That would rule out many, including Me. Broaden your horizon robbyp. By the way, I have just picked up a spam from so-called jeanette on this forum. He or she must be a religion nut. A forum ban won't stop them re-registering under a different user name, so I guess we haven't seen the last of this nutcase. blanco. Maybe have a manual signup option too, for overseas users, where a moderator checks the validity of overseas signups. I mean a high percentage of overseas signup must be spam. All I know is that forum spam is a huge problem for forum moderators and users, and it is just a suggestion. |

| 647603 | 2008-03-12 20:55:00 | I think they should brack down on people signing up, as currently any spammer can signup, and the spam is getting worse. Maybe they should be made to have a NZ email address (eg. the one your ISP gives you), to authentic that you are a legitiate user. Just ban all free email addresses (a lot of forums do), which would allow only those given by ISP and which most people won't spam from because it's too easy to get caught. |

Think back to how it was on F1 before the CAPTCHA was enabled. We were deleting multiple spam threads every day. Multiply that by all the forums out there and it is a big problem. |

| 647606 | 2008-03-13 10:02:00 | Oh so its called CAPTCHA. Sometimes I hate that when I sign up the forums You guys ever seen a forum or a website which you try to sign up where the letters or numbers are so hard to read? |

| 647607 | 2008-03-13 10:12:00 | sometimes, I just refresh the page and re-enter everything. Much easier than staring at a squiggly line trying to figure out if it's even in our alphabet | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 647608 | 2008-03-13 10:19:00 | Sometimes it gives me 5 minutes to actually be able to read what character it is. Some websites are really good at testing my eye sight |
