In the last few months there's been a dramatic increase in the number of spam registrations; in fact around November I would say there were as many spam registrations as there were genuine ones. While these were all weeded out either before (mostly) or after they managed to make their first and last pathetic post, they clearly have a substantial impact on the genuine registered user numbers (which don't contain spammers) compared with the user ID count (which does).
For the time being a combination of better Captcha screening used by the new software version and use of the custom "Verification Number" step during registration has drastically reduced successful spam registrations (to one in the past two months, in fact!). However already spammers are using cheap labour in developing countries to bypass anti-spam methods that try to distinguish between humans and automated registration tools. This is a continuing battle, which unfortunately mostly inconveniences the genuine user. -------------------- Regards,
Fredd __________________________________________________________________________
