Spam bots(?) from India

For the past few months, I've been receiving topics posted on random locations of my forums for advertising certain products or a guaranteed freebie if you click on a link that goes nowhere. I've gotten things from free plasma screens, iPods, and now Cheerios (yes, the cereal).

I've realized one thing they all have in common... they're all registered out of India. NeoTrace is bringing back unavailable information on the ISPs and registrations, so there's noone to contact. I'm sure other people here have received this same problem... I could block out whole IP ranges, but at the same time I don't want to block any potential users. Is there a single company that's pulling this annoying crap, because I find myself deleting topics on a daily basis.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
