Forum spam

[Carroll Grigsby]

For the second time this week, we have been directly spammed by the forum link 
(aka ohiggins). That's simply unacceptable, particularly for a distribution 
that has aspirations to be a player in the enterprise arena.

My first thought is to filter all forum postings directly to the bit bucket, 
but that would deny access to the useful information that does appear on the 
forum. A far better solution would be to modify the forum software to kill 
the spam before it ever gets posted. I read a number of forums every day, and 
also I also subscribe to several other linux maillists all of which seem to 
have effective spam filters installed.
