I share your sentiments and would advise adding one of the mods available to reduce the number of spammers. I have just submitted a new thread myself on this subject and repeat it below for interest.

Spammers cause many of us a great deal of inconvenience and annoyance.

I have a couple of anti-spam mods running and this does restrict the activity of those who seek to penetrate my board. I have however blocked several from ever getting back onto my site using the following.

It is pointless trying to ban specific e-mail addresses in the banned user section as new addresses are introduced. However using IP addresses is more effective in overcoming the problem. I have listed several in the User Banning Options and this works well. I always add an offending IP address to the list and I suggest members who are affected in a similar way post a response to this thread adding any new addresses they come across.

here are mine to start the ball rolling.
