That’s very cool! I’d love to implement such a tool, but I’d never figure it out on my own. I’ve never been much of a coder, though I’m not bad at modding PHP, a skill I’ve taught myself when I started using CMS. I’m trying out WP-SpamFree, but since I’m so busy I’ve not had time to look it over and see how it works.

All we can do is press on ??

In the 10 years I have maintained a presence online I’ve tried in vain to get a forum system online which I’ve liked, was stable, integrated well with any kind of CMS (MT, PostNuke, Joomla, now WP) and have failed. I’ve even tried bbPress, which I can’t seem to get to integrate with WP without freaking out. I’ve shelved the idea of forums until bbPress gets better (meaning someone writes a plugin for integration), though I’d really like them for one site of mine.

That’s sort of a long winded way of saying, no, I’m not familiar with the practice. I wonder why they do it? It doesn’t seem like it has a purpose. Oh well.
