Not really. Banning the IP doesn''t help much as they can use one of the million proxy servers out there to bypass the ban.

keep an eye on new registrations for proxy IPs.

It is hard to tell them.

Cheers guys i didnt wanna go down the route of using a proxy ban mod as it would also effect new members and others such as aol users etc!

Is there much more i can do to keep them out then?

If I see a registration from a confirmed proxy server I ask the new member to explain why they are using a proxy server. If they don't reply I delete their membership.

If I see that the IP is coming from a proxy server like Japan, Israel, Korea, etc. It doesn't show a city just a dot on the country itself. I ban them immediately. They're up to no good. They usually are spammers and always use the birthday of Jan 1, 1980
