Ideas for events

Do you have ideas for events that Sex in the Public Square might put on? Readings? Film screenings? Discussions? Let us know! And if you're an organization that would like to cosponsor an event, drop us a note using the contact form and let us know that, too.

Spam Prophylactic

We may want to consider some sort of captcha thing for comments by unregistered users.

I neutered three identical spam comments and sent them to comment oblivion just in the last few hours.

The comments had a subject line of "People" followed by a mass linkage. They were from an unverified commenter whose name was something like "jhbxwmkmef" or some crap.

While searching through the membership roll (where whatever the commenter's name did not appear - I guess that's what "unverified" means?) I noticed quite a few nonsensical member names that smell an awful lot like spammers as well. We'll have to keep an eye on those, and perhaps also implement the captcha rubber for registration, too.

I'll poke around the web and see if I can locate some sort of quality module.

What the heck is the name of the software we're using here again?

Test Forum

We might could use a single thread just for testing our signatures and stuff.

Just a thought.

Oh, and I still had to manually add my signature to this new topic post.

Dream a little dream of me.

Signatures

Hmmm... here in the forum, the signature doesn't seem to be showing up at all. Elsewhere, it's just added at the beginning of the body box when making a comment. Is there a way to set it so that it is invisible when writing a comment, but shows up at the end of the comment after it's posted? That's the way I've usually seen it done elsewhere, and it works well.

Quoting

I just noticed that neither "quote" nor "blockquote" are options for html in the comments. Those are pretty useful, so if there's a way to enable them, I'd like that. Kisses
