Why are we doing this every time we post something? Is it that bad on this forum with spam that we have to put in a code to post our answers? I agree it is difficult to get on this site and it is not convenient to post our replies... What happened here?

I'm much more troubled by the difficulty of logging in. Three times I tried to change the random-generated password that was emailed to me, my change of password seemed to be 'saved', and I still couldn't log in with my changed password. If anyone had an urgent travel Russian question last week, they sure as hell didn't get help here. Looking at the spam that I have seen on this forum, I don't think we need captchas. With the new login, it is almost impossible for a spammer to create a new account But I decided months ago, that it would probably work to forbid the posting of web hotlinks until a user has made a fairly large number of posts. It is rare that a legitimate new person here needs to include a web link in a post.

It feels to automative now, but I guess it will be something to get used too. I just don't care for the lay out too much.
