When you find a foolproof method let us know as well please.


In the meantime do the same as every other forum owner/operator/administrator/moderator does

Keep on deleting the crap and block the IPs!

In the mean time, make sure you don't get banned for dropping affiliate/referral links!!!!!!!

Just don't let newbies post links or images until a set amount of posts.
Only spammers we get are Nigerians selling phones they don't have and Indians pretending they are in the UK or USA.

You mean they join the forums then lie
about where they are from or who they are

Who'd have thought it!!

^Yep, just like them I have a page set up for our Nigerian friends and their different scams teakdoor.com/view.php?pg=scams-internet-scams probably do one for the indian spammers but rather than emphasis the spam aspect it would probably be better to surround the urls with words like "virus" "Malaware" "scam site" and other good juicy keywords.
