Anti-Necrospamming
justice:
other,
after submitting to an old thread, redirect to a confirmation page where you have to press button (or choose one from random 3). that way spammers can't update old threads but regular users can.
wraith808:
I like the dialog idea better than the redirect, and like *both* better than CAPTCHA. I'd think that a dialog or a redirect would deter bots enough without the CAPTCHA.
J-Mac:
Something similar to the warning that appears if another post is made between when you started writing your reply and submitting it.

How many "necro-spams" has the forum received lately? Any kind of hindrance to usability would be an over-reaction, IMO.

Agree.
Either our forum moderators :-* are exceptionally good at getting rid of spam before most of us see it - or I'm going blind blind, because I haven't noticed all that many spam messages being posted.
Are we actually having a problem with this at DonationCoder? Mouser? Carol? JGP?

It seems to come in fits. I'll suddenly see five or six sneak in, then none for a while. Not really a big problem IMO.
