I would imagine signing up might be done manually, but a bot then goes to hundreds (thousands?) of bugs and posts comments.
Quite possible. What about a dedicated captcha for when the post contains a hyperlink or is in "rich text"? Sounds like a good idea to me. Ineiev and you and others flagged a dozen more spams the last couple days, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there. So we are basically back to where we were before, with comment-spam happening at will. Clearly the registration captcha has been defeated. (Asking for "1983" lasted longer!) Michael? k
