I had a thought. (Just one thought which I didn’t want to die of loneliness as referenced by Lee Remick in the movie No Way To Treat A Lady.)
What I noticed was that when spammers fill out a their profiles and go on to try to sell us passports, writing services, etc., nothing is EVER listed for where they live, for their favorite scores or for their favorite composers. I understand keeping locations private, but what if FAVORITE SCORES and FAVORITE COMPOSERS became required fields that must be filled out before they can log in? After all, it is a film score board.
Yeah, I know a lot of our current people haven’t filled in those two fields, and they are legitimate posters. They’d be grandfathered in. This requirement would be for newbies.
Also, since each profile can’t be read first, some wily spammer could write junk like: Bill Carson’s Sonata for Zombies in G Minor or Clem Kadiddlehopper’s Star Wars #20, and no one would notice for a while. (Feel free to chime in with other erudite options. )
Still, if these were “required” fields, it …just….might…give….some….spammers…..pause! (They might even bag it.)
P.S. For the last few days, the board hasn’t been that slow, but every time I click on the message boards, each thread slowly appears One At A Time until it hits the bottom of the page. Am I the only one who has Voodoo in her computer at FSM?

I have always loved my Sonata for Zombies in G Minor.
Its very drawn out.
Hours longer than it needed to be.
Lots of filler
lots of convenient personality changes to fit the musical lines.
And a lot of repeated phrases.
It feels like its never going to reach its finale!!

This is a great idea, because it would stop bots from filling out the forms with no human involved, which I think is what happens. Any "prove you're a human" field would be of value
The other thing is, new posters should be on probation, such that a mod gets notified of (let's say) their first four posts. If any of those posts are spam, the new account gets deactivated.

Eye iz smart, Bill.
Still think new posters should fill the scores' and composers' fields if they want to play in our playground.
i like this. But even better would be a button that alladyce could have when spammers incorrectly filling in the fields could be electrocuted in their seats, like in the Bond film ..."our expectations were considerably higher number seven...one of you is clearly guilty of embezzlement..." ZAP!! fried spammer!!
I like this.
