In Response To: Serious spam problem (Forrest of B.org)

: Alright, this is getting to be too much.

: This spam is coming from a bunch of different IPs, so it's not like there's
: just one bad spammer out there who I can ban. And it wasn't so bad when it
: was just spam messages on the board, but now they're pulling weird HTML
: crap which is actually breaking the page rendering. We have to do
: something about this.

: So I'm putting forward a motion to require registration to post here. I know
: how most people feel about that, and I'm usually very hesitant too, but
: considering the magnitude of this problem and the incredible ease of
: registering with a WebBBS forum, I think there would be great benefits
: overall with very little hassle to anyone. We could even put up a short
: line at the top of the forum welcoming newcomers and telling them that due
: to spam, a quick registration is required to post.

: What say you all? Yea or nay?

I have to agree, the spam has been unreal and I don't think it would be very hard to register. Every other forum I've been to requires you to register to post so I don't see why our forum should be the one suffering exception.

I say Yea! But I would be interested to hear the arguements against registration.
