How to stop forum spam?

[JPnyc]

That forum wouldn't be adminzone, would it? I'm a member there, although I rarely visit. I can't see how it can get round image verify unless a human is registering for it, or it has image capture software. I worked for a software co. that made such software and it was about $70k. Hard to believe a spammer would make that kind of investment.

We get a few new spammers every day and not a single one of their posts has seen the light of day.

BRILLIANT! I'm trying that for sure!

It's a nice hack, but a pre-defined list of keywords would make it even nicer.

Simple solution would be not to have a forum

end of day just make sure your mods etc are on track and know to delete the posts as soon as they spot em.

Ping their IP. Alot. :]

Its quite fun, and word gets around that if you spam x forum, they'll own you. :/
