More and more spammer and spam bot accounts are being accepted and inappropriate content being posted. Some of the post are pornographic.
Many other forums institute a method of registration verification - the use of a visual image with letters and numbers that must be typed in. This ensures that an account isn't granted to a 'bot' as bot's can't 'read' an image file. This change would prevent bot accounts from being registered on KFN. It won't prevent actual spammers from doing so.
Edit: Okay, I just checked, and if one clicks to register an account on KFN, the visual verification feature is being used (thank you OS), so these spam posts are apparently from 'real scum bags' who have nothing better to do than spread their filth on the 'net.
