Nice that you don't want to make this forum a place where you have to register.

A simple comparison between the number of posts on this forum and the ones, where you have to register, shows why.

The problem is that wetlook has something to do with sex. You don't want to mix your e-mail address up with that - especially if you are using a business address. I also think that it is very important to be able to discuss even the most embarrassing subjects, and people may not do that unless they can stay anonymous.

Yes, I need to do this...

Yes, unfortunately, the forum now seems to be on a spammer's list. The problem has got a lot worse in the last few days. Unfortunately, I've been very busy on 'real work', but I'll try to make time tomorrow. I've already written some code for making the random sequence of letters that many sites use. This approach is better, because the Spambots do get tweeked, and it is very easy for the code to be adjusted to 'tick' the box.

In the meantime, please just continue to add 1 reply with the word "spam" in it, it helps me to find them quicker !

Hi Nigel

As thse spams are created by spambot programmes, what about the addition of a little tick box?

A little box you have to tick to prove you are human, certainly easier than creating accounts etc, if you could get the code to alter slightly and change the code location of the tick box, it would confuse the spybot!

All the people here would have to do is click a little box that says "I am human", everytime they post, without clicking it, the post does not get made! Although the feedback to the generator could say that it is, if you know what i mean?

Thanks

Leon
