Please implement better spam filter

@jeffreyway the spam on the forum has gotton worse lately. Can you implement a very hard to pass initial form submit test for new users only on the first post? Or have an employee moderate new post on new users and see if it's okay.

See these replies also, but there are others about a lot of spam lately.

I agree with @jlrdw, the amount of spam posts and replies has increased.

It also would be good to have all images allowed only from a safe image storage site that checks them for malware.

I have read that more and more images are being embedded with malware these days.

I wish he allowed image uploads here only and not allow external sites, and scan them for viruses. Links yes, but no img src. Then it would be up to each user of the forum whether they wanted to trust a link or not.

It's a very tricky problem to solve in this case, but I'm pushing a couple attempts out later today.
