Testing post editing.

[ScaleRobotics]

And, the need for a random question to determine the poster's species seems superfluous for test posts. It's a real PITA. Surely, the bots won't flood the board with test posts.

You might be right, but on the other hand, there are a lot of spammers knocking on the door. Here is a log of < 5 hours time, and all who attempted to register using a known spammer email address, or IP. In this period, no one registered successfully, but other times they do get through. If nothing else, they are pretty busy. Hence the need for some additional security measures. Yeah, bummer.

You might be right, but on the other hand, there are a lot of spammers knocking on the door.

Had the danged EDIT been working I would have changed test to preview - why is the random question necessary for previews? At the very least, it could retain the question/answer for the actual submission.
