Add Authcode to Paste form about stikked

That makes things too complicated, sorry. The philosophy of a pastebin is that everyone can paste quick, without any login/signup or other authentication.

I don't think there will be much spam. I'll implement a captcha system in the near future.

Thanks for taking a look at the suggestion. It's not really an issue of spam as much as an issue of liability and unwanted content.

The philosophy is not what I am looking for. There are plenty of public pastebin systems out there now. I need one that is restricted to clients, but able to leave the ability of the content to be public. Using a htpasswd defeats the public part.

Not really looking for a login, just an authcode with is required to paste.

In any case, I've already gone and implemented it once I figured out how the CodeIgniter stuff worked as I had not looked at that before. Still need to clean things up a tad, and get the static authcode into the config file, but I'll figure it out.

I have a URL shortner that I added the authccode concept to as well. Needed one that used my own domain so clients knew it was not a spam link, but needed to prevent unauthorized users from using it as well. I have a number of clients that now have the same for their own domains was a popular concept.

BTW... Spammers get past Captcha systems all the time. See forums full of spam that use them all the time.
