Specifically the preparser does that, switches two spaces for a nbsp then a space.

Maybe but more likely I implemented it naively.

Yeah, anti spam questions are awesome like that :)

See live's thought, it had a double space in it, wedit::preparsecode converted that to an nbsp, but that's displayed rather than converted.

Oh, yes, that one. What I meant was I didn't prevent addons doing their own thing, I just removed that particular method of doing it... In my mind it didn't really qualify as a hook :P

To put it into context, arantor.org has been logging these requests for 15 months or so and even though there haven't been posts for months, I still see these requests daily, it's currently in the realm of 2-3 per day but it used to be dozens per day.

Also, I fully understand your opinion regarding the Daily Express ;) It reminds me of this T-shirt ;)

Correct. Take out the checkSubmitOnce call as part of the form and see what happens ;)

It won't solve either. The sole point of this suggestion is to prevent the same post being posted twice in the same thread. That said we could expand it to prevent that kind of spam, though I'm not sure how effective it would really be.

In that case, there should actually be no reason to do so. There is still a duplicate-post check being made on the server through the internal system (where it stores a unique value between form and session and checks one against the other)

I'm not really sure why the submit button actually gets disabled in that situation, there's little reason for it...

I already have 15 in my repositories, with fragments and ideas for a few more on top :P What's another plugin between friends?[1]

Main reason is that while I like the idea, I'm not yet entirely sold on its usefulness.
 1. I suspect I'm going to make more plugins than I made for SMF, which is a slightly disturbing thought.

Would it be worth making as a plugin first to see how well received it is?

! Since we insist on a minimum of MySQL 5.1 on the server, we don't need 5.0.50/5.0.51 specific workarounds. (install.php, upgrade.php, Display.php, ScheduledTasks.php)
! Bit odd having a default of keeping error logs for 5 days but only clearing it out on a weekly basis. (ScheduledTasks.php)
! Mostly usable version of the BB log viewer. It's missing a few things but it works. It will also purge the BB log at the same time as purging the error log (and to a point I consider them both variations of 'error' anyway...) (Admin.php, ManageErrors.php, ScheduledTasks.php, Errors.template.php, Admin and ManageMaintenance language files)

Robots.txt nope: non conforming robots could discover the URL this way. I added noindex everywhere but again - won't take any chances!
They could discover it anyway. I'm pretty sure certain bots already know about it already in fact.

You might want to put said version into a robots.txt Disallow rule, looking at the logs.

I'm currently trying to hammer out a log viewer for BB so I can really start examining WTF is going on with some of these things.
