agreed. they added code that insta-deletes anything Celko posts(thank you for that!), so they can reuse that same code, and just add something that detects the new user spamming multiple forums in x seconds., and start expanding the spam detection rules from there.Not sure, but do the spammers have to register and also confirm registration via an email link before they can post? or can they just register with fake@gmail.com and go crazy?
Really? Are you funnin me? (sorry had to throw in a movie quote)
I'm not aware of the history there but it must have been something special to get that kind of attention. That being said wouldn't disabling the account be easier...
