in reply to The recent spam wave

What about reaping these acconts which only have 1 post and it a spam, or even all of that accounts posts being spam?
Plus, I think it'd be a good idea to have a login captcha.

    Spamming accounts already get locked.

    What purpose would a login captcha serve?

      That should keep bots from login in and posting spam (at least that's the idea)

        So far, we had one bot automatically posting. I don't think this warrants putting a burden on every poster.
