I still think that maybe:
1)Stop all registrations;
2)Look k at the database, look kinda when did the mass registration started (if any appened - I hope)
3)Unregister everybody from that point on. Not lock accounts - deregister them so that the true ones will be able to register under the same Login again;
4)Install a less bot friendly check;
5)Open registration again.

<satanic>I will start reporting some known trolls around here. Maybe a moderator with hundreds spam reports won't notice and ban them for good 
</satanic>
I'm joking, but it could work

Posting from another account.
Level 1 is pretty close to useless.
Level 2, 3 checks are useless.

Will try to delete this one.

Why not ask device specific questions? Like what's the default homepage of MicroB. Or how many desktops does the N900 have? Or what's the name of the default e-mail app on maemo.
It's too specific for generic spambots to figure and pretty elementary for anyone with a device on his hands.

If we can't stop bots at the gate with the current forum setup, we either need to limit number of posts per day (for the first week) or look at setting up more mods to remove spam....
this flooding is getting out of hand for sure....

Definitely need to limit the ability/numbers of new threads that a new user can create.
Even a normal (non spambot) new user has no business creating dozens of new threads upon their acct opening.

Long term requires better validation and perhaps delay before first post can be made.
Captcha would help as well. The problem is that person behind this can use his own eyes for registration.

it would seem we are definately starved of moderation at this time of day (or night 
) so increasing the number will definately help, at least to ban and clean.
I think a restriction on the number of posts would have a positive effect. if the spammers can't get their junk posted quickly, they'll move on to easier pickings......
apon now at 76 posts. this alone shows that the current level of moderators isn;t sufficient. this one should have been wiped over an hour ago....
