Well, for the moment, only registered users ever see capcha. Silly, huh? We're waiting for a new mod for smf. Mean time, all I can do is lock down anon posting. How do you guys think it would work out if I just create a guest login with a public password. That way people can still post as guest, though you won't get the handy name and email address fields so you'll have to id yourself however you please in the body of the post. This would be a stop-gap measure in place only till we have a real solution.

GOD! but do I hate spammers!

If you do create a guest login, will that allow multiple guest to log in under the same user or will it allow multiple logins????

I think that was supposed to be a stopgap measure in lieu of a functional Captcha (since at first there wasn't one). However, since now there IS a functional Captcha in place, relying on the stopgap measure will probably not be necessary...

Thanks for dealing with most of the previously posted spam list. However, there is still a fair amount of spam hanging around from that period of time before the Captcha was installed. In the spirit of assistance, here is an updated list.

Okay, I did all the dirty work for you. I went and collected all the links, and posted them in a handy dandy list so all you have to do is run through it and do your thing...

It has been six days.

With the sole exception of the duplicate post, duly noted in case there is an issue with that, these are all spam-bot inserts that do not need to be here.

Thank you.

My apologies if my previous post seemed overly pissy. It was not meant to be taken personally by any one person.

I do feel that adjustment issues consequent to such a major move (to SMF) would best be handled by a greater shoulder spread than that feasible by someone operating more-or-less solo. It is simply too much for any one person to handle for long, without experiencing burnout.

I am more than willing to help out, and try to do so as I perceive the need. However, given that I am but a mere plebe here, some communications would be greatly appreciated, and would hopefully go a long way towards making this a smoother transition for many of us.
