spammers are back

It appears pretty clear that they have "broken" the code for the CAPTCHA graphic that we use to prevent spam. Six spammers caught by moderation today.

I have added a new question to the registration questions:

What is four plus five?

They have to answer 9, or they can't register. The default is 2.

This may help prevent robots from filling out the registration.

Please let me know if you are required to fill this out in the user CP. I just did mine and I had to fill it out. This is not what the setting suggested.
