I tried that with the guestbook, and it worked for awhile.
It just took a while for them to refind it. What I did was
to add an image that the person needs to read and place the
information into the form. No problems since then, which is
probably a month ago

changing the bulletin board page to an intro page, so now
people have to click one more time to get to the bulletin
board. I gave the intro page the address of the bulletin
board page and assigned a new address to the bulletin.
Unwanted posts have not been a problem since. I have
instructed users of the board to bookmark the intro page,
that way if the spammers catch up with me again, I can
easily change the board address againwitout affecting
people's book marks.
