And the last one that shows up alot is from some website called ideewoman.com advertising jewelry. My problem is so extreme that me and the other admin have to ban at least once a day. If I can't find a solution I might be forced to switch to other forum software to avoid these spammers, it is bringing down the spirits of my admin.

I use a combination of all of the following mods and advice from this site here with good results.

Is Bot: Registration Time Check

Multiple account login detector (AE Detector)

Multiple Account Registration Prevention

Report PM

I can't seem to keep these kids away from my forum!
