Kindred

if you are using 2.0.x, please do not post in the 2.1 support boards...

As for reducing spam...

read the wiki/FAQ?

one question is useless. Spambots will have that documented into their database in hours....
you need to have between 10-20 questions, of which 3 are randomly delivered to the registering user.
