    Over the past couple of days, the spam seems to be gone. But it will most likely return.

        What is a IU?
        What is a ITU?
        What toner colours do colour printers have?
        What Scan Methods are commonly availablel?

            Yeah something like this, I read a little about vBulletin and it seems this kind of "human check" is already available so it can be enabled in no time if our admin agrees to enable it.
