I just got done reporting and deleting more spam ads than I have ever seen in one place....all from last night and today, well over 50 or 60!! I should have enabled the captcha some time ago, but it's such a pain, and I hadn't been spammed in a long time.
At any rate, it is now enabled, and I have it set so that, if you register and login,you won't have to use it. I'm sorry about that, but this was just crazy, and took much of my evening to get rid of!
Let me know how it goes.

An idea might be to require someone to have to write to you reasons why they should be allowed to register.....once they complete that, you might have a better chance at figuring out who is going to be a real poster and who's not.
