Blimey guys, it's a bit OTT with all the anti spam you've got going on.
Is this board spammed that much that new members can't freely post? I certainly know what it's like to run a forum that gets it fair share of robot spammers (we get 150+ spambots a day joining) but even so we don't require a 25 second delay between posts or new members to have their posts checked by 'big brother'.
