Main dispaly page of Catagolue is vulnerable, a simple bash script can automatically scroll spam messages without truly contributing the search.

Could commercial related name be allowed ? what kinds of rules should we set for advertising or promoting ?

The cost of attack is hauls size of 2000+ , less than half second to make. A single core old time PC can send such spams 24hrs around at a speed of 100+/minute

Best option is to have some precaution method before that, just in case.
