It seems like a lot of spambots are infesting the forum I just wondered why not use captchas to stop them? I know there are verification questions when creating an account but they aren't the most effective as the bots can be given the answers. Captchas could also be used every time a new thread is posted (or for every post but I realise people may find that annoying). It's the typical defence against spambots that most places use.
