Get rid of spam. Use automated code requirements.

Simple as that. Many forums have those kind of things, where you have to enter the long digit password like DJY37P.

It's been brought to my attention that we already have that when you register, but there has to be a better way of using that method to reduce spam.

Let's hear arguments, and ways we can implement what the above sentence suggests.

Yes. It's not that big a deal, and it's also a good idea.

We need this, but the thing is Cyclone is inactive, and as far as I know he owns the Forumify and FluxBB companies. :I

Wait, like a captcha for every time you post? I would find that annoying.

Not every time you post, before you register.

I thought we had that. We don't have that anymore?

If we do, it's not very effective, now is it?

Try to make it more secure, and add one for every post the first five posts.

We need to do something, otherwise these errors will keep happening.

Why doesn't the forum use reCAPTCHA? Why did we have to be different...
