Beta3 is up
http://emu.norrath.info/petitions-1.0-beta.3.zip
That is where I rest...
1. Security has been tightened down, a lot.
2. Version information is on all files now.
3. CAPTCHA image verification for user registrations and can be disabled in the config by setting $gd_installed to 0 instead of 1. I would suggest keeping it on 1 if you have the GD library =) (thinking about doing the same for admin logins).
*EDIT*
4. The ability to preview news (before posting) and delete users has been added =).
And whos ever in charge of the wiki, please and by all means use that CAPTCHA! He he.. That system by itself is very hard for most bots to guess =),
