Seems like there is a need

for a spam button/report button。

We only check the forum slightly less often than we would check a spam report email. I wonder if an easier solution wouldn't just be to appoint a few moderators with the power to delete spam.

Scott was also talking about adding a better CAPTCHA for non-logged-in users.

I'd be willing to moderate.

I'd also be willing to moderate - I spend an unhealthy amount of time logged in so I may as well do something useful while I'm here :)

New challenge award: shirt, cup, tablet... or moderator status!

I'd be willing to moderate too, if there's a need.

I think a few moderators from different timezones outside out of the US would definitely help cover the day and allow for faster removal.

Actually, I already implemented it. I replaced the old sum captcha with the more commonly used recaptcha. Looks like it wasn't as effective as I had hoped!

I'll add to my list to make it so we can deputize people and give them forum moderation powers. Shouldn't be hard to do.
