What about people like me (and many others, Ether and Looking Forward) who aren't affiliated with a team? Sure, we could be grandfathered, but what about future legitimate non-affiliated people?

That said, while I don't have a specific fix I do know somebody who might. I'm also an active member of Badcaps.net forums and we used to have awful spam issues but the admin (who I know personally) made some changes and now we legitimately have no spam. They do run Vbulletin, and a somewhat old one at that. I know recaptcha was involved at some point but otherwise I have no idea (as I'm no longer a Mod over there).

If it would help I could see what he did and let the Brandon know as potential fixes. (iread: Brandon or a mod PM me for details).
