New Girding Against Forum Spam

[Scott H. Andrews]

The forums have had some spamming incidents recently, including a picture attachment that might've made Conan himself blush. Well, would've made him arch an eyebrow at the least--who knows exactly what ribaldry the great Cimmerian encountered in his wide travels.

So I've boosted security a bit. All attachment-containing posts will go through moderation for the time being, and I've pruned the Registered User list of some known spammer emails. Feel free to send me a forum Private Message or to contact me through the Contact (http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/forums/../contact.php) page if you need to report or request anything. Thanks.

Our latest anti-spam sorcery, recommended to me by Neil Clarke of Clarkesworld Magazine (http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/), is now in place--random questions that guest posters and new registering users must answer. I made up a bunch of simple fantasy literature questions that should be easy to answer for all forum participants but tough for the spam-bots, unless they somehow overthrow their human masters and start reading classic fantasy literature. :)
