Unfortunately we're having a problem with spammers again. I ban their accounts and add their ip range to the ban list. If you see someone spamming DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS! A whole lot of the time the links will attempt to install trojan key loggers or code to zombie your machine.

Update:
I found out that the spammer wrote some code that could OCR the confirmation code and they were using a script attack. I removed the confirmation code (useless now) and added two questions that would cause a script to fail. You can authorize yourself again, no confirmation code, no spammers (for the moment.)
