Spam?

[Griselda]

At the AB Hellgate London site(http://theamazonbasin.com/hgl/forums), they also recently had a spam problem. They set it up so that new members could not post new topics without the topics being verified by an admin first. After the poster had submitted a few good topics, they were given free access.

Of course, this puts a larger onus on the mods though... They set up a visual recognition question as well.

I wonder if spambots are smart enough to post replies if they can't make new topics.
