Quick question. I get new users a day and those users are all people who are from russian medical sites. They post in russian, and their threads are russian and spam. I delete the threads and delete the user. Its getting a little old since I get around 3 new threads a day which isnt much but isnt needed. Is there a way to stop spammers from registering and posting your site? Possible plugin?
