I doubt that'll be enough.
I doubt that'll be enough. I have both a verification code and admin confirmation required on new accounts over on the Democracy for Knoxville site. I still get 10-15 spammer registrations a day. Most of which are from Russia. They must actually pay people to surf the web and register their bogus accounts.
