Spam Bots

Not sure what registration hoops you need to jump through here (as I've been a member a long time) but one of the things we have on my forum is a registration "question" ie. What is the third letter in the word "Focus"? -- something that a bot wouldn't automatically know to fill in the field to without an actual person to read. Wrong answer and it kicks out the registration.

Another thing you can do is there's a anti-spam list at http://www.stopforumspam.com/ where you can check the registration IP and email address automatically against a list of known and reported spammers.

Personally our forum doesn't do it automatically but I manually do it to all new registrants every couple of days.
TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
