How to Get Rid of Spam

[billybatz9]

Is there a better way to prevent spam from entering my website?

Here is my forum link. As you can see, there is plenty of spam. This is just a few days. How does xenforo and other big forums never have spam?

You can't stop spam permanently, only put checks in place to try and catch it before it happens.

There are a variety of addons for spam prevention and a DIY method here:

I did all that, and my forum still gets pounded with spam.

You did all of it? If spam is such an issue you need to be more aggressive. IP ban ranges/countries, email blacklists, moderate the first 5 posts of every user, etc. Set up stopforumspam, Q&A registration. There's a lot you can do to do more than you're currently doing.
