ratty redemption:
interesting, and do these spam accounts and posts ever look legit? how hard are they to spot from normal users who might have sigs which link to other sites? i'm not doubting your judgement, just curious how blatant the spam ones are.

kat:
They are relatively easy to spot yes, but they do have to be checked because people have a tendency to use funny words for their account user names. I don't want to go into it too deeply as it'll probably attract more of the pests but suffice to say they don't all register to post and not all registrations are scripts, the ones that get past captchas are people being paid to do it (like gold farmers in the likes of WoW).

ratty redemption:
understood, i think and good luck dealing with them.

cpdt:
Just testing Facebook account log-in. Seems to work OK. Users can now sign into the forum using FB and sync account info.

silicone_milk:
Neat. Have you considered getting this working with Google+ as well?
