As you've probably noticed already, the spam bots have begun their attack on the forums.  Right now I am looking into modifying the forums with some more intense user registration tests to try to weed out the spam bots, but until then here's how you can help me out:

If you see any spam threads, please use the report to moderator link on the topic and report it to the moderators marked with the reason of "spam."  Also, please don't reply to any of the forum threads to bring more attention to them.

Thanks!

I am perfectly aware of the spambot(s), just report them and move on. STOP REPLYING TO THEM.

I added some meat boy specific questions to the registration form.  I think this will stop most of the robots, but unfortunately I think some of the spam we're dealing with is actually coming from live humans.
