Just curious, how is the programming of the forum done so that registration was so simple yet without any of the annoying authentication measures everywhere else there is no spam?
a) Anybody can flag a story, and that somehow causes spam to be flagged in automatic fashion.
b) A few users are given moderator privileges and the ability to mark stories dead or users ignored. When a story is marked dead it is visible only to the submitter. When a user is marked ignored all his stories are automatically marked dead.
