DotNetJunkies and Spam: can I help you?

I've see this post by Donny Mack and sincerely I think it's the time to do something concrete... why a big community like DotNetJunkies is maybe remains the same without a spam countermeasure?

Donny, if you want I've 2 antispam countermeasure ready to use for you:

  1. a CAPTCHA control (exactly the control you can see on my personal blog), easy to install (you've only to copy the file on your .Text directory, I've just prepared the modifications for all the skins).
  2. A modification to the .Text post stored procedure. You've only to replace the old stored procedure with my new stored and you can obtain a spam filter via SQL.

On my blog I've the 2 countermeasures together and I've totally reset the spam problem. DotNetJunkies can do the same...

If you need help, I'm glad to send you my solutions. Just contact me via my blog!
