Would there be any way to create a read only version without the spam protection? I mostly just lurk these days so that would allow me (and others?) mostly normal use, whilst maintaining spam protection.
No idea if this would be plausible to implement but something that popped into my head
Yeah, but it also means that if this is what the spammer is using then it won't be effective.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow or Monday as the spammer strikes daily.
