Hi everyone,
Apart from the new SPAM mitigation system that is in place, I am also trying a CAPTCHA that appears before you make the first post every time after logging in. It won't come back again unless your session ends or you click the logout button. I think it will help some as a secondary prevention method. Please let me know how much you hate it, and I can remove it if necessary. But please do keep in mind that it could help a lot to prevent spam.
Thanks!
Have fun.
