Thanks. Actually, depending on the spam source, things like @MeSue's idea of not checking for X number of posts, or for Moderators, etc. may not work either. If the bad guys can spoof my ID, then the system would see that I've got lots of posts, and not do the spam test. I think this is actually a NP-hard problem, after all, the Turing test has never been solved, no matter what the authors of captcha claim. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
