You have to log in to post anything, but you can read it without logging in

No you don't. I have just replied to a post without logging in (I quoted the first post about road charging)

just made a new post and suspect u need help sooner than later, another forum i use needs several mods to remove the blatant spam links

suggest u disable hyperlinking and url hiding, eg putting "this link" instead of the pron site on a really long url

tried to post a reply and get Please enter your username and password to log in.

cant get past that with random names either

meant if u want lots of spam offering viagra, pron and other stuff, disable the ability to hyperlink

spammers love the hyperlinks, if they have to write out their full url instead of a click this....
