Hello everyone,

I need some advice from some of more experienced users who deal on a regular basis with spammers.
Personally, I think XF 1.2 has amazing improvements. So far, I did the following things:
1) Stop Forum Spam: Reject registrations when 1 warning flag is detected
2) Enabled DNSBL honeypot API key and blocked the registration
3) Enabled Akismet

Thank you for letting me know what other steps I should take and if you think is appropriate the 1 warning flag for SFS. I would also like to know if there is a way to automatically mark a properly registered user as spammer and report it. You can spot easy those users, they have weird nicknames and email addresses (i.e. GiuseppeMqrf etherealtroupe493z20@outlook.com).

But what if they don't create any spam posts? How do I spam clean them? I still get daily registrations like:
AdelineCa tastefulfinancetjd2@outlook.com

I want to report and delete those users. What is the proper way to do it?
The reporting method has to be made easy as is the only way we can report spammers.
Isn't reporting people that haven't actually spammed against stop forum spams t&c's.
