Why dont you simply not allow a Guest to start a topic or add an attachment. If they sign in to an account have lower post ranking approved attachments and/or topic creation. I doubt a 100 post member would become a spammer. Food for thought.

I'm assuming the spammers would just attack an already started post, like this one? That might actually be even worse!

lol Slozo. Just like Alex 116 I also didn't notice that this is a thread from early in the year. Overall our mods do a good job and do so on a volunteer basis. It is understanable if they aren't always able to get here first thing in the morning. I had just assumed a moderator hadn't yet been chosen. Sorry Slozo.

Did you hear about the retired proctologist? He spent 40 years saying "what's a place like this doing in a girl like you?"

As a member of the computer science / web development community, preventative measures will only work up to a certain point...

How about to start a topic (or even to reply to a topic) the poster has one additional step -typing a word that appears as an image.

Any spammer worm etc will not be able to do that and it adds a couple seconds to each post at most which I feel would be worth it to save everyone some hassle. (Of course that doesn't prevent human typed spam...)

There is an example at the very bottom of the page where you can post.

My 2 cents.
