My suggestion that all of the Universal Forums (high value for SEO spam because of all the different web URLs for the same message content) require a user to login would stop a lot of the SEO spam, since the posts would not be visible to search engines.....

Like I said, not sure if it was a mistake or someone screwing around.
This was one of the threads marked as spam.
