WTOXE spam? by imWACC02008-10-21 18:52:15
  They could just grab all usernames on a forum. by vetitice2008-10-21 19:12:11
    Don't know how practical or easy that would be by radiowave9112008-10-21 19:29:32
      I guess having "By NNNNNN" by vetitice2008-10-21 20:03:35
        How many message boards do that, though? by radiowave9112008-10-21 20:23:57
          Scrub the link bit. by vetitice 2008-10-21 21:24:14
Grab every word after 'by'. Do the same for "From:"

Might work. I dunno.

Spammers are industrious enough to write a 'strip poker' game that advances every time the player solves a captcha for them, so a few regexes for by, from, posted, and so on probably wouldn't be hard.

You are probably right though. it was just I had an idea for once and I don't want to let it go :-)
