wow, they are really fast. just go a mail (max. 5 minutes ago) for this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=87977&f=18
and the new reply was already away.

that said, please implement recaptcha in order to keep spambots away or put the text of the new reply into the notification mail.

We are already using reCAPTCHA.

About changing email contents, I'm not sure if that will be possible. At the moment, the board software allows us to change the 'signature' only. Implementing this kind of change will involve core hacks that we don't do for technical reasons.

bad news×2 :(
i throught recaptcha would be the best captcha (efficiently keeping spambots away). maybe some spambots have a site which hijacks the recaptcha from a forum, present it to a user which wants to register there, and let him in when he provided the right words…

well, thank you for the answer, though :)
