And a warm welcome to kittoo, the newest iPhone advocate.
Is there any way to make the registration process for this forum a little more complicated, such that a spambot can't handle it and a spamidiot is too lazy to attempt it?

Nice idea. Seeing as this is iSketch Forum, perhaps we could ask new members a few (perhaps 5?) iSketch related questions in the registration process to make sure that each new member has a genuine obsession liking of iSketch.
They would only need to be easy questions about the basics of iSk that all, if not, most players will know. An example would be "What colour is the voting triangle for warning an artist?". Edit: We could devise a long list of questions and the registration process thing would automatically choose a small selection of the questions from the list.
So if any people try to register with the sole purpose of spamming, they have to first do a little research into the game. Hopefully they can't, or indeed won't be bothered when they are faced with the questions :)
Any thoughts?

#f5fea1 would be hard for people to memorize.
