Same here.  Seems like they could disable it for the people who have been members for more than 90 days, or something like that.

Seriously, this posting since Dan Morrison came on and mentioned that big spammer from Russia has been no different for me.

Not slow to load, no special moves-just the same.

It's slow and flaky and causes a significant number of lost posts.

I'm on a number of other forums and none of them have anything similar when making posts (they only use it for registration), but none of them have ever had anywhere near the problem with spam that BT did.  Something makes BT "attractive" to spammers, and I don't think it's Piffin's easy-going nature or Junkhound's good looks.

Having never met Art, I'll take your word for it.


I've been completely locked out for a few days (aren't you lucky!), because Mollom suspected I was an insidious spammer, but Dan M. seems to have calmed the beast.


Down, Mollom! Down! Bad Mollom, Bad!!!! On your mat!!!!
