Melgar's antispam script?

Does anyone actually have Melgar's antispam script? If no that'd be very unfortunate considering that other mods could improve his script:(

No. But not needed.
With the new registration policy spam is well under control. (And yes, I am aware of the handful of spam posts recently and know how they occurred.)

And just like that they were gone :-)

No you wouldn't. there was a patch there where we really did not have the spam under control and that was with Melgar's script and at least two of Polverone's.

And that phd troll, while amusing at times really did not add to the board in any significant way. But his trolling at times was extremely problematic.

Glad to hear you already know how spam was able to appear again don't want to go back to the days where we had pages of spam everyday. mods don't need extra work dealing with spam.

It is certainly persistent at the moment....
Appreciate the effort you guys put into keeping this sort of garbage off the forum!

And that is exactly what trolls want, your attention!

This spam in General Chemistry is getting annoying.
