Changes to stop spam
Now there are a couple measures in place to try to stop spam:
* Users who register must supply a time zone.
* Guests may not post URLs.

Re: Changes to stop spam
One asshole spammer got through, because filters for http:// and www. were case sensative. Damn uppercase URLs. Fixed now.
This board still gets plenty of spammers who don't even have a website to link to. Are the spammers total morons or something? How can you spam something without a web address? (yeah, a stock symbol...)

Re: Changes to stop spam
Even more changes were made to stop spam, this time we're using hidden message and subject fields. If you manage to type something into the hidden field, your post is rejected. In Firefox, go to View > Page Style > (none) to see the hidden fields where you shouldn't type.
