Spambot Protection Added

We should be seeing an end to the Spambot epidemic in the Forum thanks to a mod that adds some extra protection to the registration form. We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure we remain protected against these unwanted posts and if necessary, take additional measures to prevent their return.

It appears as though we've had a few spambot posts since the mod was installed. However, those bots had registered before the mod was put in place and have since been taken care of. Once we weed out any remaining bots we should be set since it appears the new measures are preventing new bots from signing up.
