We do it to stop spamers.

Yep, that is what I figured that it needed updating and used to prevent spammers. There was something else that I ran into earlier that might have been worth reporting but cannot seem to remember. If I do remember I will post back here.

Edit: For stuff like this should we post in a new thread or send it via PM?

Perfect, will continue to do that in case I run into something strange again, which I do not expect to anytime soon.

The search function located on the top right hand corner, the character background is set to very light grey/gray which makes it difficult to see what you have typed. The search on the menu bar works as expected.

Will this anti spam feature drop off after a while, because I'm finding it painful?

Three attempts on this post....
