Hey folks,

Thanks for your patience.  Finally got some time to review what the heck was going on and I believe I found the cause.  A somewhat recent update to the underlying forum provider added some new permissions and/or reset things so the forum was fully open to public posting.   I made a few changes including how new users are added.

Will see how this goes for a while and if it's still a problem, then there are lots of other options to enable (ex: new users must be approved first, etc.) -- which would be the next logical step.

I have to say it’s nice to not come here twice a day and have to delete a half-dozen threads each time. Thanks C.
