We appreciate the work you're doing and the forum is looking great. However I think I speak for the others when I say please implement as many of these Anti Spam solutions as you can

In fact we are taking steps to add more security to the forum. :)

I don't think we can give options for that. I'll look into it. But I am pretty sure the icons you see now are a part of this style. To change the icons would mean you have to change the style.

Michael,

There seems to be a problem with the new low level vermin clogging up the
boards lately. Have you given the mods the authority to ban/block spammers?
While the mods clean up the detritus, it still comes back. They seem to know
when the mods aren't on.

So far the spam blockers seem to be working. The most recent spammers have been humans. We are looking in to adding more security soon though! So no worries. We check out the members list periodically and look at all new posts.

Michael,

I have a question.

When I go to the Board Index and look at who's on, I sometimes see a person's name
italicized. Do you have any idea what that means? It's not an important question, but
it is something that perplexes me.

Thank you in advance for your response.

The names in italics (Mine being one of them) are supposed to be hidden but for some reason they're being displayed to registered users and only hidden to guests.
