Verification - only three times
« on: February 21, 2013, 10:46:20 AM »
Hi all,

I don't how they do it, but a spambot managed to open a topic to promote shoes this morning. As the shoes were very ugly, I cannot tolerate this. I have changed the forum's settings so that you have to go through the verification process (medium-difficult garbled text and one easy question) when you register and for your first three posts. After that you're home free.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we can't have ugly shoes on this forum.

Cheers,

Neven

This forum helps me to feel less uncomfortable about "doing something" about the melting Arctic and the warming world.

Thanks Neven,
I appreciate all of the effort you put into all of this, and I'm sure it's even more work than one would guess.  You've developed a great community.
