Hi,
There's still a lot of spam being posted into the "installation help" forum. About 5 a day, with currently only one real post in the last month. That's a bit skewed... I guess people are being scared away when they see the first 10 messages of so being spam (I don't come over everyday to clean up the mess).
Maybe we could try to block anonymous posts for a few weeks, and then unblock them again. There's a slight chance that the spammer (it's apparently only a single #%$#@) might notice and stop bugging us. This will also shy away real people (as opposed to the spam bots), but it's not being used anyhow at the moment.
The "manual" forum already has anonymous posts blocked, but the others haven't.
