Stop Forum Spam is fine, but the ability to purge a spammer account and all traces while reporting the spammer is incredibly valuable to me. Remember, these a$$holes are running their scams and WE foot the bill. They are attempting to manipulate search engines with their garbage, and the more that is removed reduced their effectiveness.

There's a reason I removed the "welcome to our newest member code" from my site. Why would I want to welcome a potential spammer and potentially push up their internet search engine standing? Same thing goes for member listings...none of my forum members are listed until they have three validated posts.

Sorry for the rant, but this is a subject that is near and dear. Either way, if more forum owners were a bit more savvy and took more interest in purging/reporting spammers, we'd all be better off. ANY anti-spam tool is better than apathy.
