Re: SPAMBOTS - how can we stop them - read FIRST post.
You could enable queued posts for the first post and activate the ones you're not sure about, let them post and review it before approval. That way if it is spam it won't appear on your board. Here are the lists from http://www.stopforumspam.com/spamdomainsandips as of yesterday in easy copy & p...
