Fend out Robots

m_hmt

hello;
It is about 3 hours that I downloaded and installed the vanilla from you download page but now I have 3 sighed users with ugly email addresses one has robot in its name. it is worth mentioning that this forum hasn't gone to production phase.
the sad thing is that I had the same problem with the last board cms.
Is it anyway to defend the the board against this kinda attacks.
Thank YOU !!!
ps: i am sorry to use terms like forum and board. I know that vanilla is the new generation discussion ... .
