Spam Elimination | |||||||||||||||||
How about the admin of this site eliminating the post from people who add spam links to their comments? Petty and Ninanina come to mind.

Thanks for the heads up.
Add arven to that list.
I'm working on it.
The spam responses I've been getting have been nothing but link posts, suggesting that they're completely automated.
The current way to deal with such things is by using CAPTCHAs. ReCAPTCHA is how I deal with it on my site.

Wohuhuhua is the newest one.
We added a CAPTCHA to the user registration form last week, and yet still we're getting spam. We may add a CAPTCHA to the idea and comment submission forms as well, though I appreciate that that may be cumbersome for our frequent participants.
Add Rytmitz to the list for elimination.
Put "pinkdress" on the list for elimination.
Add "Markweee".
Add "Alex09".
Add "Giant".
These last three seem to take previously posted comments from other postings and randomly insert them with the spam links into other postings.
"aamert" needs removing. . .
