Since the forum is overrun by bots, i thought it would be a good idea to increase the security checks to have new users posts being verified by staff before being shown to other people. This includes X1 and X2 threads.

I tried changing the signup question a few days ago but it didn't help. I've actually just turned off new registrations entirely for a bit. The problem with having new posts require verification is that so many bots are spamming the forum that posts from anyone who isn't a bot would be completely lost and I'd have hundreds of spam posts to sort through each day.

I'll re-enable registrations some time next week. Maybe the spam campaign would have stopped by then. If not, we'll have to think again.
