Re: Spam control (was Re: [PHP-DB] wealthy)

I see no reason why some spam prevention measures can't be taken. As a note, I didn't catch earlier discussions... all I found on the archives was this: "Well, there's a variety of options, all of which are good ideas (if not done already) for fighting spam: 1. Only allow posts from subscriber addresses only." <snip... also talks about ORBS and spamcop> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=97868421312484&w=2 Seems to be what we're all thinking..... So why can't we take some kind of action? Anybody?
