I recently had my forum installed and right off the bat I experienced issues with spam; to be specific, I noticed about 15-30 new accounts being created per day, and handful of spam posts per day. When I checked the IP addresses, nearly all were reported spam abusers. My initial approach with new users was to click Spam Cleaner and determine if other users came from the same address. I would then ban the IP and delete the user or users. This might have helped a little bit (not sure), but there a still many spam IP accounts being created daily. Is there a setting I can use, or a strategy I can employ, the would curb this trend?
Thanks very much.
