Cubase.net requires you register and you only get responses if your usb key serial code is also entered.
Very few spammers, although nothing is perfect, one spam post on there advertising free porn links was a virus link...
Registration is not so bad, helps to cut down the number of cracked copies users and general undesirables. Doesn't totally eliminate it but does cut down !

most of the time you dont notice them because folks at ableton and some watchers try to take them down ASAP but xmas is a bit hard when the forum admins get to have a life.
i agree they should be taken down (edit: spam posts, not the forum admins),
theres two ways to solve the problem, at the user registeration or at a new thread posting stage or even at the reply stage.
we dont seem to suffer from bots which post on our posts, mainly bots which make their own threads.
i suggest adding some kind of non-OCR friendly image with letters and numbers at the point where we are about to create a new thread.
this would allow people to post away without any interruptions and to make it inconvenient for bots to post threads.
i feel that spam bot owners would easily have stuff to manually validate registration of users to websites now that phpbb forums everywhere have image verifiewd registration, but to do it on new threads will work as a good preventative measure.
the time it takes for a spammer to have to manually vaidate something on a per post basis is much harder than to validte entry to a site which the bot then has free reign over.
