    A more effective antispam?

    After the forum upgrade, you guys should consider adding this feature: Making users that have less than, let's say 5 or 10 posts, solve a CAPTCHA before continuing. I have seen a forum do this, and it's very effective at stopping spam.

    We have something MUCH more effective than that in mind, but thanks for the thought. Sorry I can't go into details - walls have ears - spammer herders might be reading - but what I can say is watch this space!

    With all the hype of the avengers movie (planning to watch it tomorrow), I cant help but smile when I read this. It sounded like you have a super secret weapon that will spell disaster for spammers. Hahaha
