Please give my regards and apologies.

Now that our traffic has increased, the spambots, googlebots, and internet spiders have found our site worthy of being a playpen.

I'm getting close to 80-100 fake spambot registration accounts per day. I have to manually look over these registrations. Sometimes there's 20-30 plus and I just kind of skim over and if they all look illegitimate, then I just delete them all and a few times now a real person has gotten rejected.

Even with the human verification to register, the bots have found the code and I am the last line of defense. These bots will just post spam about viagra, beastiality, and zito porn etc.

To give an example of how many I can get, I was away from the site for 2 hours the other day and when I checked for new registrations, these are all the ones I got within 2 hours. One thing I noticed on other Braves Fansites like Chop-Nation and other forums, is they have a few thousand members listed as registered but when you look at their member list you see a ton of the same spam-like usernames.
