(enter backwoods accent here) when the post's subject and the author's name are the same.... you JUST might be viewing a spam post.

gameboy has added a great feature to the HARP forum, in that you can't register on the forum unless you've submited one harp recording. wonder if that would work for marpirc, seymore?

At this point it feels like SOMETHING needs to be done. The spam seems to be getting worse every day.

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down... You look down and see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you...You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Leon?

Seymour would have to do something special code-wise in PHP... disable the registration page, essentially. As in, comment out the include file, I BELIEVE.

I'll see if I can pick him off if he doesn't get picked off beforehand. :)
