OK, I see our pagerank has become high enough to have spambots

Spambots are a common problem on forums, so we'll discuss how to keep them away now.
My experience tells me that the most effective way is to setup register questions (One must answer a special question to be registered and post their 1st post), but the classic anti-spam ways can also get set up.

So yeah.

Adding those register question could help,or maybe we can add a captcha or something?
Or maybe we can have new members approved by the staff team first before they can actually post?Since this is a relatively small forum,I'm sure the workload won't be much

Donders assume that Taiko is a strict progression from Kantan to Oni,but actually from a non-linear,non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly drummy-beaty��stuff

I'll leave it to Aqua, maybe a question asking about the first song in the 2000 series? but that's too easy to google on the net, these spambots now google for easy questions *shudder*

I'm usually very lax with them since we don't get like 10 spambots a day (and I doubt anyone here would ever want to click their links anyway). I think for a small forum like us a capcha would suffice.
