Brainstorm is susceptible to spam

Sir -

The system is working as expected. Users are not abusing the website.

However, those like yourself who insist in implementing fascist policies on our website ARE abusing the site. We don't need your authoritarian nonsense. We're Linux users. We live by our ideals of freedom.

Censoring a Ubuntu website is blatant hypocrisy.

It seems the system is working as programmed, and you are abusing the website. Lets talk about hypocrisy shall we, take a look at this:
idea #928: STOP CREEPING FASCISM: BAN KYLE WELLER AND PROTO-FASCIST CYBERTERRORIST FIENDS
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/928/ seems like
Now who is speaking of censorship?
Your the hypocrite.

My "hypocrisy" is tongue-in-cheek. Yours is not.

That's a line someone sent me in a comment, so I'm repeating it because I think it's funny and self-contradicting/hypocritical.

As you've noted, the site is working as expected. There is no bug.

Here is another:

There is no issue with the website. It is working as expected.

I changed status to New, it is not "incomplete". Serious spam problem from this "Jose Gosdin" character. Definitely implement Captcha, user supported banning (if X amount of posts reach below X amount of points, ban), user ignore, and SHORT PREVIEWS!!! This guy inserts several hundred line breaks per post, and makes it near impossible to view valid submissions! I can take the spam, just not the super long previews.

Have confirmed this bug as being valid.

We are working on it, next code update will include Captchas as a first fix.

Brainstorm should also have an option to report abusive ideas.

Examples:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/506/
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1083/

Neither of those ideas were extremely abusive (and I've renamed one of them). We'll add a 'report spam' button and repeat offenders posting spam or abuse will be visible there and can be banned by admins.

there needs to be a feature to delay posting or allow a certain amount of posts per minute, also a "ez captcha" would be a nice addition like simple math instead of words you can hardly read

Setting to "Fix commited"

Captcha will be there soon for registration.
Idea posting is limited to one per minute in our devel branch.
Idea description length is limited in the idea listing.
