This shows you how many bot sign ups there have been in the last week alone. If I allowed auto-registration and access to the forum, it would be lost under an avalanche of spam. And no, even Google's filters won't keep them out.

Sorry. I tend to assume others know more than me about this stuff. Spambots sign up on the forum with alarming frequency (almost another 100 of them since I originally posted this), despite so-called countermeasures to stop them. If I allowed new signups to automatically post on the forum, it would be awash in spam content. I therefore have to manually authorize/approve any new member. This is done by making them write to me and ask for approval, something I don't think a spambot could do without some telltale sign that the message was not from a human.

We would be swamped in trojan horses!
