Films Seen: Listology Scoreboard 2012

Have you contacted an admin about it?
It seems to me that all the links are what's triggering the spam filter (when I added a link to the scoreboard on my 2012 list, I had to fill out a CAPTCHA but I've been getting a "warning" about "line 175" for weeks now), but you can hardly run the scoreboard without links to the participants' logs.

----- I couldn't possibly separate 50 films that I consider to be masterpieces into any meaningful order of preference so I've limited this to a Top 10 ballot, and in the interest of diversity have limited directors to a maximum of one film.
