forum spam

I dislike forum spam. So much so that I've set the Crazed Imaginations forums such that the administrator must activate each new account. I've also made it so that one has to read the letters off an image to get past the registration page.

Spammers, though, have gotten past the image dodge somehow. So some number of emails show up in my inbox (and Amy's inbox) from spammers wanting to sell their porn/viagra/games/videos to the crazed crowd.

I've made a change that will make life a bit easier (I think) for Amy and me. Instead of responding to a dozen emails a day (which will keep coming, I'm afraid), there is one restricted url that lists everyone not marked as active. A simple check for activate or delete and everyone is handled at once.

And no more duplication of effort.

I like that part.
