Spam fighting, less spam fighting but it is still here with account spam. [[Ray King]] raised the question with me of requiring accounts to be authorized as a way to try and cut spam down to zero. We both loathe this option... but... we wanted to put it out to folks, especially the heros of spam fighting on [[WikiIndex]] - to see what you thought about it.
