There seems to be someone spamming our osgeo forum and general for the
past day or so.

I'm going to lock down the spam protections bit more to mitigate

For one

1) Not allowing anyone posting to osgeo feedback without moderation
2) newuser max links change from 6 back to the original 2
3) Change email time window from 2 minutes back to 5 minutes (default is
10)
4) Reset max image size back to default of 4MB (was 100 MB)
5) Min first post typing time -- was set to 600, reset it back to default
of 3000 milliseconds (this just forces the post into needs approval queue

Comment (by robe):

Also put back to default:

* min first post length - was set to 1 changed to 20
* I thought I had set newuser max links back to 2 but maybe I was mistaken
so set that back to 2
