Off topic. I apologize in advance...but this concerns me. This node is already considered, else I would consider it for deletion as SPAM.

I have been noticing an inordinate amount of posts by Anonymous monks referencing IBM DeveloperWorks posts in the last several weeks. I am begining to think it is the authors of these articles who are posting -- which -- in all cases, the poster should just register. If you are just logging in to PerlMonks to say "hey I have another article on DeveloperWorks", by all means, register so we can know who you are -- or at least mention that you wrote the article. I don't take kindly to spamming by those who are too afraid to register.

I apologize if I'm wrong here and some anonymonk found something cool, but I'd bet money this one works for IBM DeveloperWorks and/or wrote the article. How many IBM grid articles have been posted here by anonymonks? What? 5? That's 4 too many.

Also, this site requires registration...very bad form for an article contributed for "good will of the community" as it were. I suspect ulterior motives. Many of the previous articles were only loosely related to Perl, if at all...I think someone thinks they are smart for finding an easy site to SPAM.

Do we have to automate this? 

consider_post('spam?') if (($poster == "AnonymousMonk") and ($article=
+~/ibm.com/) && ($article=~/grid/));
