ANTI SPAM SOLUTIONS?

Evening all from Sweden!

I noticed a good amount of spam lately here and as a
temporary solution new users would not be able to
'auto-create' an account but rather have to have their
accounts confirmed by an admin... viable?

I would suggest this feature for imagevuex e.g. member registers for the album (password protected) and the admin has to approve the account.

Not sure its that beneficial really, afterall if i approve bot it will come back after receiving email from me. Because there is email activation enabled right now, so they obviously can receive mail and extract link from it.
