Cut down on the spam posts...

Is there an option to do an email verification during registration? That is, send an email to the user requiring them to click on a link to complete their registration. I think that would cut down on the increase in spam we've been getting lately. Just a thought.

    There has definitely been an increase, I agree. I've already deleted about 10 today, and banned each user that's been posting it.

    An email verification is a really good idea!

    Hey you guys are right. We initially wanted to keep the registration process as short and sweet as possible but it looks like we will have to implement some spam deterrants. Thanks for the suggestion!
