Hello

Will guest posting on TTCN-3 web forum be disabled at some point? I'm
happy to see that the registration page now has the visual check to
keep bots out, but there's quite a many guest bot postings at the
moment and they start to converse with each other:

My newest song, for your pleasure. "Winter, summer, autumn and spring,
how beautifuly the pendulum swings, I stretch my limbs and cry of joy,
I dance, I hop, like a love-struck boy. A festive wonder, for us to
embrace, the drama of life, filled with charm and grace

It's amazing that someone has put effort on writing software that
spams forums with poems. Wish I had that much energy :)

I don't know if phpBB supports this, but for unregistered users it
could always do the visual check just when one tries to submit a new
posting. That would still allow guest postings on the forum, but
would prevent bots from doing that. Someone could clean the forums a
bit to give it a more professional look, if it is intended to be the
official TTCN-3 forum.
