Bruce, you (and everyone) should realize that this forum is a prime target for spammers, in part because it does not appear on any of the spam "easy target" lists. It is considered a challenge to the script kiddies who work our of their parent's basements. Some of them try to get in, but move on when their script-y tools fail. But some of them take that challenge seriously, and try various tricks.

As described in a post back in 2008

Chris works hard at making spammer intrusions difficult. My job is to come along behind the elephant and clean up what gets through. Chris' original goal was to make the forum spam-free, and I think it is working pretty well. Nothing is free, of course, and one of the costs of a spam-free forum is the subject of this thread.

Easy solutions are not easy to come by. If you have one, please contact Chris directly.
