Plugin Description
This plugin basically is a way to try and stop people from spamming your site directory with rubbish. Each user must manually visit the site, and enter an 8 letter (random) string. If they enter this incorrectly, it will not let them submit their link. This has been proven to stop spam submissions from robots, submission software etc, by up to 90%. It is basically the same kind of technology that AltaVista.com use.
