Lately IndieDB forums have been a chaos of Spammers that present Live Streams, Sport Events and even Sell Kitchen Furniture :P
There should be an Anti-Bot or at least a Captcha in the Registration Form to avoid this from happening.

I've got that on my forums and they still get by. Real people sign up and bots post. :/ Or the bots are getting through the captcha's now.

It's not only IndieDB/ModDB, looks like Desura is affected also.

I suppose they could ban the IP and increase the security so someone is not able to hide or change his IP during registration.

I noticed that, but I think it is way more stronger here.
