    There is another forum (legal forum) that I read and post to regularly. I was surprised when they asked me for my checking account or credit card info. that they could use to verify that I am a legitimate participant, when I was registering to their site. At first, I was miffed with the request for this information. However, looking at all of the spam on this board makes me appreciate the other board's strict requirements.

    It is awful that such a great forum (Polk) has to spend extra time and resources to deal with the spammers.

    Should Polk choose to start making members do a similar "litmus test" I will willingly comply.
