Cooks, have you ever been a Moderator of a Forum that has had to ban spammers etc? my guess is no, so this is all theory of yours. there are a hell of a lot of "pro-spammers" out there the only script kiddies i can think of are some that write scripts from this forum and maybe others. i know a certain someone on this forum that can bypass Bans, i wont name who that is,
you talk about MD5sum, Mozilla had a recent problem with that. infact if you have a look in wikipedia you can see how easy it is to encrypt and decrypt MD5sum. or was that sha256? i'll have to have a look, im sure i posted about it on the fedoraforum.
