In a bid to stop the spambots, I've banned all ".ru" e-mail addresses as a number of recent spambots have had such e-mail addresses. However, this means that legitimate Russians cannot use a .ru e-mail address in their accounts. They'll get an error message saying their e-mail address is not allowed. Changing it to something non .ru will get around that problem (which means expect more .com spambots).
If this is too much of a crisis for our Communist friends, I'll consider approach #2, which is banning all Russian characters from post titles or just going whole hog for approach #3 and creating a Codex "Are you a Human?" registration test.
I'll see how this goes for now though and look at implementing some kind of "Codex Registration Test" later.
