<div class="IPBDescription">Getting UWE Forums fallged as 'Inappropriate'</div>I realize this is not a problem that is easy to fix, but I'd thought you should know, that the spam bots who post here have already got the address 'ns2/forums' banned from my college, have to surf on 'ns/forums' now.

Can't you add a image verification or something at registration so they can't register?

At the moment we're too busy working on the game and maintaining the company to upgrade the forums. It probably sounds easy, but we've made modifications to Invision to allow it to work with our CMS so the process is a bit delicate. And, since the release of Invision 3.0 might be right around the corner, we only want to upgrade once rather than twice.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
