Strange. Normally, every addition causes a mail to be sent to fpc- 
announce which then ends up in the moderation queue. When I see it's  
spam, I then also delete the entry in the database. But I haven't  
seen any mails being sent to fpc-announce lately.

It's true that thing needs much better spam protection though,  
because deleting all those spam entries also gets annoying after a  
while.
