Who's doing the moderating?

There are a couple of spam posts that have been up for days.

Yeah sorry about that

I've deleted the posts and blocked the users with stupid usernames..

If you've been blocked, it's because you have a stupid username. :-P

I don't know what we'll do to fix this - I've left a message with Gold, so hopefully he's got a module that he can install..

spammers sorted

Hey all,

Sorry for taking so long to get to this. It's a matter of finding the time to get it done in one hit.

I have enabled reCAPTCHA on all major forms. This will hit you the first time you use a particular form and if you pass you won't be bothered again for the current session. If you access the site from a personal computer (home/work/etc) don't log out. When you return, and are still logged in, that should still be the same session and you won't be challenged.

I've also created a new role for site users. If you're a regular ask one of the site admins for the 'skeptic' role. This will allow you to avoid being bothered by the reCAPTCHA challenge.

I believe I've finished tidying up the spammers posts. If any more show up point me at them and I'll see if I can't figure out how to trap those too.

Regards,
Gold
