It's become a big problem for forum owners to protect them from spam.
Automated programs are sending their ads in huge quantities today.

We're small community of coders, upgrading forum's source code to prevent spam-programs to post ads at your forums.

Our technique is probably one of the best. There's no need in such ugly methods as 'capcha' or 'secret question'.
For average user there would not be any visible effects. No need to make e-mail activation (that usually makes number of successful registrations less), no even need to make your users register at forums to post messages.

Send messages even if not logged in.

haha...pretty lame heh?

Yeah, we're working on "site ver.2" that will make most of this crap go away. Until then the best solution is deleting this stuff as it comes up.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"let us peek into your forum code, we wont let you know what our method is and we promise not to run a login/pass hash on every single user once we're in! really! trust us!"

Idiots.

Spammers: 3+ mins to sign up and then post a spam.
Mods/Admins: 5 secs to click the 'poof' button.
