    Based on activity of [Member 14953681](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=14953681) i'd suggest to re-open discussion about IP lock or captcha verification for persons who post many comments/answers in a some interval of time. This member has posted much over 300 answers in 3 threads! There must be some way to lock such of spammers.

      What about limiting number of comments/answers per day on first week ?

          Yes but like this member, spammers usually do their stuff the very day they register.

            Regarding IP addresses: I'm amazed at the number that claim to be "Americans". Can't use some IP verification (like "continent")?
