Hello,

We are getting swamped with post-and-run spammers.

How can we stave them off???

Torch and pitch forks baby... in reality.

In the world of SMF, try some of the spam prevention mods.

Anti-Spam links works well for me. I still get lots of people registering who never post, but between permissions (preventing them from editing their profile until they have 5 posts or so) and that mod (preventing them from posting links until they have a certain number of posts), I rarely see any actual spam.

We added more questions for new registration, and that totally solved our problem.
