    Ive tried to respond 3 times to this thread with some constructive info but it has deleted my response 3 times. Thought I would give it one more try just to see if this appears or not?

    I too have a forum and there are several V Bulletin programs that are available through their web page to help sift out spammers. My forum is set up with the simple machines format and I activated one of these programs about 5 months ago. It basically looks the IP address over and determines if it has ever been a spammer or not. If so it puts it on a list. if its not sure it adds it to the list for your review and authorization or denial. If it is a good IP address it allows it to continue. Nice thing about this program is you can check a single list daily and delete 200 spammers at a time. Takes about 5 minutes a day now to clean out the list. It really just block out spammer registrations and recognizes authorized members. . I was looking at switching to V Bulletin and checked into the program so I know they have it as well. Its been some time ago and the name of their program escapes me. This is the page to the simple machine program:
    http://www.simplemachines.org/commun...topic=452752.0 O get ZERO spam through this system and well worth the effort to get it.

    I know how trying it can be and how much time it can suck up keeping a forum up and running smoothly. I'll just hang out and wait for things to get better. Thanks again for the reply.
