Hi, there seems to be a bot spamming a thread I've subscribed to: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/107140#comment-393538. Is there a way to dissuade these?

There is some manual moderation (as you can see) as well as some other spam prevention measures that we do.
We try to walk the fine line of allowing user to have a easy way of contributing to the community and making it hard for spammers.

Do we want it harder to make the first few posts for the legit user to prevent some spam and perhaps alienate a new user?
