We can adjust the way the CAPTCHA works on account creation -- however, when we had a harder one to do, players were having issues registering as well -- so I brought it down a notch.

Other than that, the only other way is to add a bit of filtering or more moderation.

I like reading every single topic so that there aren't any red icons.

They are actually increasing our word-per-post ratio.
