Spam Filtering

Howdy all,

Due to an influx of spammers over the past day or two, I've setup a spam filtering module for the forums and comments. It's already proven itself to be pretty bad about blocking legitimate messages, so please be patient if you run into a spam error when posting. I'm going to guess the Bayesian filter will get better with more training, but who knows? We may have to resort back to manual spam management if the false positives remain high.

Anyway, if you get the spam error, you'll be given a chance to send us feedback; please do so. It might help us tune the filters to make them work better (or it may just convince us that the automated filters can't work well enough, and we'll disable them again and go back to deleting spam manually).
