Hi,

I call the spam problem bad as I am the only one who deletes every time the
spam. I can tell ya, its only all cliparts from the start page so 24 are
affected as he does spam some more then once, there are arround 30 - 35
spam comments a night.

Sounds not much, but for deleting them I have to access each clipart page
which got one, with the loading time it takes a while.
As problem I see more, each comment creates a mail to the owner (if they
have marked that) and more the problem I am the only one who deletes them.
So if I am not at home, noone will do it and then when I will be back a
bigger sum waits  for me, and its definitly no fun sitting there for an
hour deleting spam.

I am definitly not a friend take the comments off but I would like to have
a better protection against that spamming, not for me alone as also for the
artists who get a mail copy ;)
