There's already a captcha; what else do you need?

Please terminate user SpiscamKisa; I've deleted spam from them.

Clearly the Captcha isn't working. Can we have more security please?

I'm deleting a spam a day from people, and I'm getting sick of it. Can we have a better captcha, e.g. something asking what the highest number you can roll on 3d6 is?
And while we're at it: the user database is being polluted with spammers whose sole purpose is to stick their URL there. Can they be exterminated and their IPs blocked?
(The kapCon website had similar problems, which largely disappeared with a few IP blocks)

We can't have both at this stage. I will be in touch with Squee again

I've updated our reCaptcha settings, and refreshed our public/private recaptcha keys to be more specific.
Let's see what happens over the next couple of days.

I have also just deleted 30 accounts and banned IPs from the members list. I will try and do a few every day.
If anyone wants to do 10 and chip in, please do.
