6 more accounts just now banned and cleaned.

This is ridiculous.

how many IDs have these bots registered already ? I fear the big crowd of bots have not posted yet, but has already registered, maybe that's why the additional security question has no effect ? as they simply registered before that took effect.
this can also explain the very high number of users, that logged in today.

as a counter measure, please completely stop new registrations at talk.maemo.org, (maybe add a request for invitation form instead), and ban and delete all accounts with zero posts that has registered in the last 2 weeks.

hopefully, there will be minimal collateral damage if this is done..

Hello, everybody!
Just a quick thought.
Since most of the people who have maemo device or are anyhow involved into developing/testing/programming stuff have already registered on this forum, I suggest creating an invitation system. What do You think, guys?

I wouldn't be here if it be via invite system. Not that I'm in any way a good contributor, but I believe that an invite system is more likely to drive away good than bad users. And at any rate, all a bad guy need is just ONE invite, than he can invite like 10 fakes that will then invite other 100 fakes and start all over again. While I would still be out, for instance.

I had a strong feeling this was going to esculate into a rather huge problem so more reason for help for the mods, if suggestions can be made i am sure everyone will help.

Texrat is going to be extremely overworked and already non paid.... ouch.

Well, it's more a pain for the community than it is for me. There are, after all, other moderators.

I know I might not be a big user. If there is anything I could do to help I would be glad to do it.

Don't know if this has been talked about before, but how about adding captcha for starting a new thread?
