      Happy to...volunteers welcome!

      I am working on installing a totally new spam protection, probably when I upgrade to vBulletin5...

      Yeah, this is a stopgap until I have a better system...

        I guess I'll volunteer, since at least that will spread out the time zone coverage a bit. BTW, the spammer seems to have gotten through somehow.

          I'm also willing to wield moderator powers for banning the occasional spammer.

          In the meaning the 300s rule means 5 minutes between posts, which sadly blocks my usual pattern of scanning the forum periodically and answering a batch of questions. I hope this stopgap can be replaced...

            Perhaps introducing "captcha" for first 15-10 posts would eliminate bots?

            PS: I'm unsure how easy it is for site admins to introduce any new feature based on time, and financial resources.

              I highly recommend immediately banning or moderating all posts from new members with Korean (or, less-ideally, non-ASCII) characters in the title. These are all spam, and I think it really detracts from the site's reputation to constantly have the latest posts being spam.

Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
