Banning spammers
Can anyone recommend any mods or state any tips they are using to currently ban/limit the amount of spammers registering on their boards. My numbers have increased significantly. At the moment, the only mod that I am using is the email ban mod that comes preconfigured with over 200,000 known banned spam domains. Any help?

All i can think of is get a bigger, better moderating team.

I don't know if a moderating team will help preventing spammers from even registering. That requires some type of mod.

I highly suggest the mod "new registrant info"
It makes it so easy to go through all new registeres and ban them right there if you want. |

Is there any type of mod that will allow a user to search for a domain name in the database that they know is spam and to do mass bans or mass deletes of the users that are spammers? I think that would be an invaluable tool for existing users that are spammers.

Personally I employee the hack that allows you to view member pms. That is where I get 90% of my spam at. Also if they all come from the same site, just change their url base into a censored word. That will stop them. As another said bigger moderator team to catch stuff. Also make them verify their emails. All of these things together will help. I don't see 1 thing doing everything though.
