I was going to mention this.
It's filling the RSS feed on my phone daily with spam lately.

They all appear to be guests, how easy is it to post as a guest?

I know what that's like.


I don't mind guests posts as long as there not spam.
Is there not a way to make it harder to post as a guest and limit the rubbish.
20 question survey first?

I would expect it is mostly automated spam.
Is there a verification text to enter before the post can be submitted?
You know, the picture of a verification word that the spam bots cannot read.
