...I hate spam, don't you?
And I'm not talking about that processed shit in a can, although I hate that, too.

I'm talking about the plethora of random comments you get, from people with names like "supercalifrgilisticexpialidocious", with the alphabet all jumbled up in their comment, leading you to some unfortunate sex site.

Jesus... those are hell.
Here's a way of modding your Cutenews, which will hopefully eliminate the drones from real people.

• Open up your inc folder which should be located within cutenews.
• Then, open up the file shows.inc.php.
  Using CTRL + F, find the following code:
  

             $name = trim($name);
                 $mail = trim($mail);

  
  ...And add this code right after it:
  

                 $new = trim($new);

• Now find the code below:
  if( strlen($name) > 50 ){ echo"<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Your name is too long!</div>"; $CN_HALT = TRUE; break 1; }
  ...And in addition, insert this code:
  if( strlen($new) > 50 ){ echo"<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Your word is too long!</div>"; $CN_HALT = TRUE; break 1; }
• Then, find the following code:
  

    $comments         = replace_comment("add", $comments);
      $name                = replace_comment("add", preg_replace("/\n/", "",$name));
      $mail                 = replace_comment("add", preg_replace("/\n/", "",$mail));

  
  ...And add this one as well:
  

      $new                = replace_comment("add", preg_replace("/\n/", "",$new));

• Next, find this code:
  if($name == " " or $name == ""){ echo("<div style=\"text-align: center;\">You must enter name.<br /> <a href=\"java script:history.go(-1)\"> go back </a> </div>"); $CN_HALT = TRUE; break 1; }
  Directly below that, insert this:
  

  if($new == "RADICAL" or $new == "radical" ) $ok = TRUE;
  	else{
  		echo("<div style=\"text-align: center;\">You must type RADICAL.<br />
  		<a href=\"javascript:history.go(-1)\"> go back </a> </div>");
  		$CN_HALT = TRUE;
  		break 1;
  	}

  
  You see where it's italicized? The term "RADICAL"?
  You can edit that; make it whatever "special word" you'd like in order for your commenters to pass this and prove they're human.
  
  Now you see where it's bolded?
  Replace it with that same "special word" you used.
  Make sure that it's exactly the way that you want it typed, because it is CASE SENSITIVE.
  In this example, I made the options of all uppercase and all lowercase letters.
  
  You are now finished with the file shows.inc.php; save it.
• Login to your Cutenews account.
• Click on [ Options > Edit Templates > Add Comment Form ].
  Add this code to your Comment Form table:
  <tr> <td width="49" height="1"> <font color="red">Anti-spam - Type <b>RADICAL</b></font>: </td> <td width="289" height="1"><input type="text" name="new" tabindex="1"></td> </tr>
  Again, you must replace the term "RADICAL" with your own "special word."
  You can also edit the appearance to suit your own personal preference of colour, width, etc.
  
  ...And you're done. Hopefully this'll prevent your growing collection of spam comments.
