We got pounded with spam this last month, all of it came from Australia. I have updated the forum code, and have added a forum moderation, and looking for a few more.

The new version does have some enhancements for spam prevention, specifically it uses a pool of questions, each question with a pool of acceptable answers, here is what I have plugged in so far:

Please identify any storage protocol supported by 3PAR, 4 characters or less
Please enter the word(s) 3PAR uses to refer to SATA drives
Which company owns 3PAR

What do you guys think? Too easy/hard... goal is to keep the bots out while still permitted the technically challenged in for help. Please suggest more questions (without answers).

Please enter the word(s) 3PAR uses to refer to SATA drives ?

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I need to update that to a modern question. The answer I was looking for was Nearline.
