another forum [Solved]

I wanted to sign up on another forum and the last thing was this.

SEO or Spam attempts will cloud blacklist your IP and email from 10000+ other places. Do not put any link in your profile or signature. You have been warned. To continue type -VLC- below, spammers will enter "I agree" to continue:
This question is a means of preventing automated form submissions by spambots.

I don't see a question there to answer or what they want you to enter.
Then when I wanted to contact the board administrator I get this.

The board administrator contact page has been disabled.

I sure don't understand it. Can anyone explain it.

To continue, type -VLC- or VLC
Most likely the first one.
And disabling the contact page will keep some spam away, but isn't recommended. They must have been seriously hit by spammers.

I did try both and was told they where incorrect. Did not want to screw anything up so tried the board administrator contact page.

Any way tried again today but used another browser and -VLV- worked. Got the email that I had my account setup so all good. Don't know why the one browser worked and the other did not, but both browser's can log into that forum.

Yes, that's puzzling.
