...I suppose you could disable guest viewing as there is no intelligent way to really determine a bot from a human that a bot maker can't get around. Then again...who wants to goto a forum they can't see till they are registered.
somewhere on the Cemetech forums I read a spam post that was heavily modified by an admin. If the admins see some spam here, at least they can have some fun...
As said above, we delete spam as soon as possible. It's rather a tough call. One thing we won't do is allowing user to delete messages. Not that we don't trust you guys, but when deleting a message you'll also delete the IP.
Of course those IP's are proxy's, but whatever. The more IP's we ban, the less IP's they can use and the harder it will become to spam.
One thing; don't post a reaction in a thread bumped by a spambot if you don't have anything to say (Like "OMG, spammers!"). I don't want topics to be bumped without a reason...

Thank you for your trust, but I'm not active enough on this forum to be able to be of much help in that respect. Hell, I haven't been on here in like a month
You're right though that I value freedom of speech to such an extreme extent that I would never delete anyone's posts
