    Yeah, I asked for a small username change.

    I also became a moderator, but I thought it would be a bit egocentric to make a whole thread about it.
    I thought you wrote your last post on this forum a couple of weeks ago? :P

    The only way to fight spam is by have some active adminstrators which can delete spam posts as soon as they are posted... or install mods..

    There lots of mods which can help stop spam (human validation, filter out spammy words such as "porn" and "drugs", etc..), but the best way is to have active admininstrators in my opinion..

    I still see a lot spam bots posting everyday on this ***rd.
    I'm Admin on popular proxy phpBB forum and i have installed a couple antispam mods and since then we never get any spam post. Actually the last *2 months not any spambot has bypassed ***rd protection.
    The posts from spambot on our ***rd is 0&#*7;.

    Spambots are coded to use well known weakness by popular ***rd but if you install combos of a couple antispam mods you will reduced spam to 0%.

    Yeah, I decided to come back.

    The moderators can delete spam as well as the administrators, so with three of us it should be easier. A forum modification would be better though, as you said.

    I can vouch for that. After installing textual confirmation on my forum, I get several emails per day telling me that a bot has been blocked from registering. Just shows how many spammers are crawling the Internet.

    I am new here, but to answer the question, yes I agree, give them a taste of their own medicine. Fight bots with a B0tNet. I will see what is feasible with given IP's, this seems to be a very informative and intuitive site, so I will do what I can to help it.
