RoadTest Spam

Recently,  I have received ridiculous amount of RoadTest spawned Spam. It's inundating my email box. The post appears to be locked, but it's still getting sent out as an email notification.

 

Regards,

    Just like captcha, but better: an electronics related question, every time you want to post something image

    I disagree.

    I believe that element14 should be verifying the account before allowing them to post multiple entries.

     

    You could allow a single discussion entry, that requires verification by email, before it gets published.

     

    Once they have established the account (and element14 has a valid email) then the next 10 posts are moderated.

    If they show that they are genuine then they should have full access to the site.

     

    Most new people arriving either can't or don't check if their burning question has been covered before, so this encourages them to look first.

    It also allows a new person to pose the question that may have brought them here, verifies the email address, otherwise its never seen.

     

    It's not a large price to pay to belong to the community, and will rid us of the plague that is currently occurring.
