Stopping the Spammer

By Tangotiger, 03:47 PM

An a$$hole is in our midst. He’s as yellow as they come, bouncing from IP to IP. I have a few tools that I can implement, each worse than the other.

The first one I did was force in a “preview” button, that has been a staple at this site. In essence, this forces a double-click, and prevents something automated from posting spam here. Stops most, but not our resident a$$hole, who seems to take perverse pleasure in wasting my time.

My next option is to force you the poster to type in the text you see in an image, like here:

I’m not crazy about it, but, you guys tell me.

My last option is to enable registration, which I despise.
