In Response To: Re: Serious spam problem (treellama)

: I don't mind registering, personally.

: But, what about anti-bot measures, like those weird looking word/number
: images? Is that feasible?

Exactly! Dinosaur Comics' forum made registration mandatory, and spam only continued to increase in volume. Registration is no barrier at all for the spambots in circulation these days.

Also, word/number images are less of a barrier to humans, since they don't have to commit to one name forever, and established members can post things anonymously if they want.

Actually, I think the solution TABB is currently trying involves requiring new members to email an admin to have their account activated manually. I regret this, as I was looking forward to seeing more guest posts by people who have interesting/informative things to say but can't be arsed to register.
