I think it would be best to have a question or something to do with Nintendo. So bots can't access the site.

The email confirmation should stop most of them.
But I guess we can't be too careful


Think of something from your childhood, a vivid memory. Between that time and now, every cell in your body has changed. So, were you really there?

I am considering some alternative methods to reduce the bots. They are pretty easy to spot and I have deleted 3 of the sign ups today.

Even the biggest forums out there struggle to keep the boards spam free.

When the site gets a bit bigger I will hoping to make any interested wiitalk members moderators so they can edit posts, delete spam etc

I was just thinking of a way to reduce the bots. Would be a shame to be flooded with loads and loads of bots.

Hi Rocksnake81,

What I plan to do in the new year is look at getting a couple of moderators, so I will keep you in mind.

Need to get your posts up though, but I know you are new.

With regards to the bots, I have added some extra spam filters, so they should stay away for a couple of days :-)
