My second post might well be my view on an anti-spam measure like this nursery.
If I were a spammer it wouldn't really be that hard to program a spam bot to register, wait 24 hours, quickly post 3 pointless posts, then spam the forum silly before those 3 pointless posts were reported and that would be that. Damage done, didn't change anything except forcing my bot to delay 24 hours.
Making a filter that annoys regular, decent people without blocking the spammers is a fail in my book.
