Well, I didn't make my point very clear, so please let me explain. Right now the project is in experimental phase. If we do major changes right now, the harm is minimal. If spamming happens one year from now, two years from now... we'd have many users submitting data. Suddenly, we would have to invent something new, and it will probably be impossible within the framework used right now. This would most likely mean we'd have to literally kick all users from the system and start over. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
