The plan is to keep invalid users (eg spammers) out of the Forum and this can be accomplished with your help. The registration questions help but will only deter someone wanting really easy access.
If you see a non-amateur callsign registered, that will be the first sign. (eg today 'Christiana' was a new user listed at the bottom of the forum index page.) However someone nasty may make their registration look authentic with a callsign. By the same token, we do have a few authenticated "SWL" users on the system.
Use the Report This Post to a Moderator feature (Report button at bottom RHS of posts) to make sure one of the admins is aware of any improper posts or questionable users.
Only then can an admin make sure all such posts and users be removed from the Forum.
For example, 'Christiana' has been banned by username, email address and IP as a result and the single post has been deleted.
Let's keep the forum "clean".
