i got hit in the last couple days with about 100 members.

my forum is now set to moderate new users (which i hate!) but every time a user registers i've checked with www.stopforumspam.com to see if they have al isting there

what i've thought though. Why isn't there a global database of known spam IP's and email accounts that could be shared over all of vbulletin users?

some sort of add on that on registration will check against a central database and automatically stop users, or have those IP's banned.

and if you banned someone for it, their iP / email would automatically be submitted to this database
