Registration now need to be manually approved. Still, I may have missed a couple offending accounts.

The attempt to register dummy accounts has been relentless. I have deleted scores of attempts each day. Some are obvious while others are less so.

I've got nine accounts pending that I am not yet sure about.

I have made the CAPTCHA more difficult to read, and I haven't had any attempts since. Hopefully this does it. If not, I am not sure this forum can continue as it is too difficult to decide which registrations are legit.
