Yes, it means you have to review every single person attempting to sign in, but it also means a bot-free life. I have one for my forum, and 90% of the time, spambots just stick their name in there. If only I could come up with a nifty dingus to seek/destroy all the potential members who put their name in that box... Sigh.
...which reminds me, I have a holding pattern of bots to incinerate.
