Even though we rarely get spam, it looks like a couple are getting through and they don't look like bots from a server farm. Last 2 bots were actually being run from ISP's (Comcast and Charter Communications) so someone was manually registering and then using a bot to post. Those are hard to defend against and they were even using gmail accounts (which is hard because google is pretty good about not letting bots register for e-mail).

We'll keep calling grids, you just keep sending the ban hammer

I've changed the registration piece to require manual authorization. I'll try to keep up on it.

Spam is tasty if well fried, but each mouthful probably takes a year off'a the eater's lifespan. Something about blood pressure, maybe?
