It was bound to happen sooner or later. Username Patricia posted a PM to me containing a religious message and a link to a web site. :mad:

Gary - disregard my PM, that was the same content now that Brian jogged my memory.

Gary,

We had the exact same issue on LRR if you remember but on a huge scale. We could add a couple custom multiple choice sections during sign in. That will help with robots and such signing in. You still can help the people that actually put a huge effort into signing in but it will help.


ps- i got one too.

What I would like to do is require a "reason for joining" input message from the new user. Can we add that some way? Then I can review it before allowing access.
