If any more spammers get by me, I'm going to institute a registration password. That password will be relevant and readily accessible. But without it, no registration.

This reduced the number of "people" registering and then posting, but it has not stopped them from posting as guests. So I took the nuclear option.

.cn is now banned.

I checked, there are two members with a .cn mail address. One is banned already and the other has never logged in since account creation in 2010. I don't think at this point it is going to affect a major number of users, if any. If there is a problem, I will revert the change and find some other method.
