ADMIN: Forum hilarity

All,

I'm working on tightening things up to stop the torrential influx of spam. The process needs to be refined a bit.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to address this.

    Thanks for the test!

    URLs are fine. Actual links are not.

    This and the other new checks in place are stop-gap solutions. We're testing an account/login system at the moment. Swapping out the entire forum (with 14+ years of data) is not an option for a short-term solution, so out comes the duct tape.

    On the up side, the CAPTCHA is no longer necessary with the account-based system, so everyone should be happy. Or hpapy as the case may be.

    I appreciate everyone's patience, and understand your frustration with the spam and CAPTCHA. We find it equally annoying. Makes we want to crowd-source spammer identification.
