The SPAM attacks on the board have become more and more frequent, and the BBCode that is supposed to stop it hasn't had any effect. Making the board members-only will solve the automated SPAM attacks, but on the other hand, the SPAM threads are limited to the "General" section (for now).

Please vote, and let me know why you feel the way you do. It will help me make a better decision.

Thank you!
