Clyde, I was getting probably 100 spam link submittals in my directory each week and I just added CAPTCHA and I've blocked the rascals! It was the same one time and time again. I had to fiddle around withe a_berezin's mod though because the link_submit part of it is not up to date with the changes you've made. Just thought I'd let you know...I'd be happy to post the code here if anyone wants to add it as well.
