    @minti is there anyway that you may have a possibility to stop it from responding to spammers... I know it's a long shot, but anything you can think of? The RP site gets at least 50 a day, sometimes more.

      @mrdragon I've honestly been trying to think of a way to do that. There's no decent way to detect an actual spammer compared to a new person though. At least programatically.

        @minti hmm.. are you talking about @welcomepony? Most spammers post a link in their first post while most normal users don't That could be used to differentiate maybe *shrug

          @pony Hmm. True. They usually link to a page that is their homepage too. I think you're onto something..

            @minti yep. key word filters would just be a headache

      @mrdragon Is there no CAPTCHA verification on signup?

        @sleekrush It's email verification.. you can't do that on a RP as some people have many multiple accounts.
