So I've changed (again) how new users are able to authenticate, because it's clear that several new users over the last month weren't able to get in. I am hoping the spam gets blocked, but if the spam starts to come back, I'll have to change the process yet again. Fingers crossed.

And...they're back. The first new user is a bot. Sorry, Brad.

Yeah, that bot wasted no time!
Hey, Brad, I'm watching Analog. Sometime soon I expect to read "Brad vs. the Spambots from Mars" in there!

Found another bot... but I'm not sure if it got in before or after you changed the system again.

The one I see now signed up at 4:21 am (Amsterdam time, which is 8 hours later than Utah time), though it didn't post until a few minutes ago.

current entries: none
That one appears to have gotten in before I installed the new authentication plug-in.
We'll see how the weekend goes.
Again, if people have any writing friends they could encourage to test-drive the new system, I'd appreciate it.
