Forum Registration

I am (finally) starting to get some people spamming the forums. Actually, I think it’s only one person, but he posts using different names and IP addresses so I can’t seem to ban him.

In order to keep him out I may have to turn off anonymous posting, meaning only people with registered accounts in the forum could post. Any thoughts on whether that is a good or bad idea? I hate to do it since it may discourage people from posting, but I also hate having to erase spam messages several times a day.

UPDATE: - After getting another bunch of spams in the past few minutes I’ve decided to allow only registered users to post for the time-being. Sorry…
