When you go to make a post, there's a "what code is in the image" field at the bottom to prevent spam posts. That's what it is - most of the time we're noticing words or near-words in the random letters it chooses. Makes sure we're human, see. They don't want HPB posting. :D Mine is "icee," noticing that it is, in fact, cold outside. 

 

Cheers,

That's not my real name. :) Sorry. But I love the Percy Jackson books, too! But I can't buy the third book because  I'm saving up for something.

Like EH said, an anti-spam word is the word you have to type in little box right above the "preview" and "submit" buttons.  I guess the Chatterbox was having issues with spam and such, so now everybuggy has to [correctly] fill in that box before they post, so the Admin will know we're real humans.  Such as, mine says "upmf" right now.

 

We didn't have troble with spam. We designed the code submission process to prevent span sumissions.

Mine says dikr.  I think posting as Mackenzie might confuse newcomers, by the way, because of old posts by Makenzie S. Although, of course, you can go by whatever you want.
