No, it's a plugin. :-) And it's installed, but it only deals with
comments -- random users have been logging in (despite the captcha) and
creating new posts.
Since installing 'picklewagon' a few days ago, over 250 new 'users' have
attempted to register: they haven't been able to create any posts, but
now I've got to go through them to check that there aren't any genuine
new users in the list, and delete them all.
Perhaps we need a captcha AND the admin-confirmation thing that
picklewagon provides, but it all adds to the tediousness for genuine
would-be contributors to the site.
Any more ideas?
cheers
