That's not a solution. There are plenty of under-13 yr old members on my site. It's a family-friendly game site.

[quotre]4. Set To YES the "Moderate New Members" Option on the "User Registration Options", so that You Can Review the Answers that Users Make to the "User Profile Fields" Before Accepting their Accounts. Give Yourself the Opportunity to BAN TROLLS and SPAMMERS that Write TRASH on those Fields, they for Sure Will Be SPAMMERS.

5. Set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue" on "Post / Thread Permissions" as "NO", for Usergroups Not Approved ("Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), so that Every message They Post is Moderated, and that Way NO SPAM from HUMAN SPAMMERS or TROLLS is Viewed (can be Posted but NO ONE WILL SEE IT), and that way if they Post SPAM You BAN THEM and Delete their TRASH Posts. NEVER Allow those Usergroups to Create New Threads.[/quote]

So your suggestion is to, instead of spending ages deleting spam posts, instead spend ages verifying member posts individually?

(and I believe that "hundreds" starts somewhere after 200)

Hundreds of spam posts. I deleted well over a thousand spam blog entries yesterday.
