We already have email confirmation in place. I'm not sure if our site host offers a captcha option.
I know it sucks, guys, but that is one of the risks you accept when you internet. Everyone deals with spam, and nothing is fullproof. If you've been on Facebook, Youtube, or Buzzfeed at all, then you should know this by now. We don't need to keep having this discussion every time a couple of them manage to post at once.
Just keep reporting the stuff that gets through. It'll be gone within 24 hours, I promise.
Sorry to sound possibly repetitive, but just to confirm: the reporting does help then? Like, it links to the threads or w/e, instead of just giving you a useless notification that "oh hey, something is spam," when it's clear you'll log on in a couple of hours and see all of the spam threads? (I know on Facebook it often just clogs admin feeds without helping, which makes me wary of reporting for fear of spamming up people's inboxes even more when they're already busy.)
