Thanks.

Paid subscribers shouldn't use captcha to confirm we are humans... Am I right? It's not like bots will buy subscriptions...

During the past couple years or so GT suffered a very large influx of spam posts usually, but not always, from new 'members.' In that recent past there was close to a thousand -- some foreign language posts hitting a hundred or more a day which was more than a little disruptive to the Forum. The security features recently implemented have drastically cut the spam posts, almost to zero, and are certainly worth the 'cost' of a once-in-a-while 15-second delay while we members work our way through the CAPTCHA challenge and response.

Speaking of spam... IMO, it would be best if yours in your Forum Signature was removed.

It is totally understandable for non Full Access members but it shouldn't be slapped on on everyone./ Especially paying members.[br][br]As for my signature comment... I won't even waste more time than I have already done with writing this.[br][br]

My comment was a gentle suggestion that you shouldn't be hawking your items on the Forum page, particularly when Guitar Tricks gets no compensation.

Beware, other spammers have been banned from the Forum.
