Sheesh, "long" is right! I'm curious about one of the things you (Eliot) said in one of the threads:
Are the majority of people requiring user accounts in order to submit sites? That seems like a major deterrance for legitimate submissions, considering a link submission is a one time process for the vast majority of pople. Heck, most of my users don't even want to bother with forum registration if they visit regularly...
One thing I don't understand about the German spam problem is that I get them despite having $LINKS{db_referers} set to my domains. Either it doesn't work correctly, or they are auto-submitting from on-site somehow. Thoughts?
