[forge:site-support:#2976]

I am having some problems with spam by unregistered users. So I followed your advice to allow approve posts manually.

This doesn't demotivate spammers. On the Forum overview page (https://sourceforge.net/p/whonix/discussion/) under "Latest topics", anyone can still read "spam topic line".

When you click on it it says "awaiting moderation" - That's fine. But the topic line is sufficient for some spammers to keep on spamming.

Please do not update the "Latest topics" for posts, which are not yet approved..

Reproduced here: https://sourceforge.net/p/strawhat/discussion/ (the "spammy topic!" in "Another Forum")

    Also, threads that were approved, and then all posts deleted/spammed will have their thread subject show up in the discussion lists of threads. See the FIXMEs in test_threads_with_zero_posts.
