Image verification
How about adding an image verification "hack" to the board? This is used when a new user signs up. Although it's not 100%, it will eliminate a *LOT* of the spam we're getting here lately.
Remember, most of this spam doesn't actually come from a person sitting at the keyboard - it's done by a program to create an account, do the email verification, and then log in to post their one and only message.

You mean those little boxes with the goofy letters, and numbers that you have to read, and then type in?
If it's that, yeah, good idee. I hate those things. I cant hardly read them, myself, and I am human. :? :P

Actually, according to Jeff, that image verification is already in place. So those are indeed real people doing the cut and paste spam. Some people just have no life.
