Spam, spam, spam, spam

Spam is slowly creeping into the site as it grows. As a result we’re looking at options to reduce this as much as possible.

There are a couple of things you may be able to do to help:

1. In the Options > General screen, ensure that the Users must be registered and logged in to comment box is ticked - that way we can keep a close eye on registrations and remove people before they get a chance to post.
2. In the Options > Discussion screen adjust the requirements that a post must meet before it is shown

These 3 things will hugely increase the problems spammers have when attempting to abuse the site and will hopefully solve the problem before it gets too big.
