Update on spam issue..

Well folks we're trying something new - all forum posts and comments are now run through a service called 'mollom', which checks their contents for spam type wording and presents a few deterents if necessary. This applies to the new user registration form as well.
I've never used this particular service before, so this is just a test. I do have the ability to override molloms spam testing all together on a per-account basis, so if people want to start making a list here of users we know to be 'real' I can start switching their accounts.
I hope this cuts down on some of the spam we've seen pouring in as of late!
 
Thanks,
Shane
 
UPDATE:
You'll start to see 'verified user' tags showing up in peoples profiles and beside their posts now - these are the users who wont be bothered with spam checking. I'm flagging these manually so if you do not have one, or want to vouch for someone you know please post here or pm me.
