Hmm - I see what you mean - three spams reported within the last few minutes. That's almost more spam postings than real postings for us!

I think maybe the registering for an account is perhaps a little easy. All you have to do is fill in a form, fire off to an email account and activate via the email account. That can be fairly easy to automate if you know what you're doing. Maybe this place needs one of those weirdy text things that computers can't read to stop bots from registering?
