I have been inundated recently with guest registering on our forum and the only purpose is to place spam on our board. I personally used spamhaus.org in the checker. But have reviewed the ips through dnsstuff.com and all the ip that were caught were listed as spammers and not small time either. I had one guy trying to register with a bogus email. One person registered and placed a link to trojan file which my antivirius flaged immediately and prompted me to remove the link from the board. Obviously I can not post IPs here but I will say that the person was comming out of Germany.

I will not just refuse people but to date the ones who have been caught are known spammers and I do check to make sure.
