Do you have a Captcha?
Moderate the first (5) post(s) of every new member, then promote them to another usergroup if they don't contain spam. |

Moderating the first 5 posts would be even more work... We get a lot of new members every day. Is there no word block mod?

Do a search on these forums for threads with "spam" in the title. There are so many out there with so many mods/options given to get rid of spam.

Have you analyzed the pattern and discussed it with the web host? They might be able to add a subnet to a blacklist or something.
