> This is more of a question than an issue, I guess we had the guest posting enabled so we got spammed a little by a bot or something, no big deal delete and move on. The question is how did they do it? I tried testing it myself (not logged in) and tried to post and reply and I had no options to post as a guest. After my testing I turned it off anyways for safe measure.

> Not absolutely essential, but desireable to have good anti spam protection. ( I think there is already a ticket about antispam for napi)

> I would like to see the importance moved up as high as possible on this. Spam is one of the things that really makes life bad as a forum mod, and anything that we can do to prevent it should be done. There are good tools out there that could be used, so let's use them :-)

> This sounds very strange, and potentially dangerous, changing to highest priority. As it sounds a lot like a bug or vulnerability.
