Right now I am using the following: Duplicate IP Report by BOP5; Hostname or Useragent Registration Ban; Multiple Login Detector; Proxy Alert; and finally - Spambot Stopper.
They are all quite simple to install and configure and all work perfectly fine together with no conflicts or other problems.

I previously tried Spam Hammer 1 Series which did a fine job but lacked the options of Stopper, and GlowHost Spamomatic which caused me a few problems right off the bat so I removed it.

I have yet to have so much as one spammer get through to register since setting up this final comprehensive group of blockers. And I have tested the mods I was able to test along with the help of my co-admin on the board and they all work as they should.

And I owe all of this to the link in your signature, Max! :up:

You missed two of the best mods on the list at Ozzy's site, "Ban Spiders by User Agent" and "Rename register.php?"
