FTI trys and works hard to keep Spammers of porn and non family oriented postings from our site. In the 13 years that FTI (FishngTN INC) has been on the web We have deleted over 763 posters. What is happening now is that there is a new influx of spammers that is posting from Russia as well as the rest of the world ... And usually in the wee hours of the morning .... I would suggest that anynew members that join the site please use a recognizable fishing oriented or real name . Any abstract uernames will be banned as well as anyone not filling out the profile page when joining ... Sorry for the inconvience but there is always a small percentage of people who messes up things for the majority .... <'TK>< :(

TK I had the same issue even using captcha which I think has been cracked... I downloaded a mod for my forum that asks questions to new members like, are you a human yes or no, and what kind of trout is named after a weather event. This has worked like a champ! I went from 40 to 50 spam registrations a day to 1 or 2 a week.
