good news. spam accounts have dropped off to nothing. i think they've given up on us. if so, good riddance!
We still get 10 to 20 a day at the site I Mod at.. Man it gets old and tiresome!!!! We had a spam filter but lost it on an Upgrade. Still have a "Red flag" on them though, it helps a lot, easy to spot them....

the spam filter is actually picking up a few guys that are not spammers, so i have to review every blocked application. most of the time it's working.

Thanks so much for creating and managing this site. Tons of good info here. Also, thanks for fixing my login. I do not know how I ended up in the spammer database. I am not clever (or low) enough to be a spammer.

Associated Email: s.amuellawashington@gmail.comuserAssociated User Account: Silvisellalowa ipIP: 178.151.17.13 The ip address 178.151.17.13 has been recorded as a spammers ip. If you have had a member sign up with this address you may want to consider contacting them, and possibly banning them from your site. = = = = = = Alan, can you restrict by IP address, or Permanent ban by address and email etc?? That would put this fool out of business (for this site anyway) He seems t be very, very busy & Active for the last year and 3 months.. .

Find out where he lives and I'll send my cousin Lucca Brazi to talk to him.  He will ask him to stop.  Dominick

Dominick Country: Ukraine ua flag State/Region: Kyyiv City: Kiev Latitude: 50.4333 Longitude: 30.5167 I can zoom in on his location, but it looks like an alley behind a business or a field??? His IP looks to be a business or Bank also. May just be piggy backing a Wireless Modem?? Siting in his car in an alley!! Let him IN, Ill send him a $20.... :-) LOL  .

Hi Allan, I had the same problem at Esoxhunt, and tried IP banning, but without the desired results. I finally installed a capcha, that resolved the problem. The capcha you use, should use a fishing related question. The standard capchas using word games are to easy for the spam robots to pass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHAhttp://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=452752.0
