[Coco] CoCo3.com Forums spam problems

[Steve Bjork]

Roger,

They still use humans to sign up for the forums and then use both humans 
and bots to do spam.  So, any auto-approve system just does not work 
these days.

My code for my client sites use an approval system that a real person 
must look over the new user's info before an account is made active.  
This stop most spamers because the information they sign in with always 
full of holes.
