Lately I have seen huge increases in traffic to Elf Knows It, but this has also dragged along a huge increase in SPAM posts, the CAPTCHA works good to a certain level, but after that all hell breaks loose, so for now I have to make the Forums only available to registered users. Sorry :(

I will be looking at the CAPTCHA and posting setup and if I can find a nice level between NO-SPAM and not being an annoyance we will go back to a registration-free forum.

Keep an eye out, I'll keep you posted.

Do you debate or offer opinions on other peoples posts on forums? You probably do, after all it is discussion. But pointless arguments are a common problem on forums and usually end with the moderator hitting the lock button with joy.Tips for debating on-line:

• Don't just pick fights for the fun of it.
