All new registrations have to be approved by me so no one can make any post/s until I, personally, approve them. When I go in to view their registration information, I check out their e-mail address through a "Stop Spam" forum site. If they show up in there as spammers, the site gives me any IP#'s they may use which I promptly ban. I also ban their e-mail address. If I don't find them in the "Stop Spam" forum but they are using a foreign language not common to my site (Arabic, Albanian, Chinese, Russian, etc.) I ban their e-mail address. Also, in general, whenever they list an ICQ number, they are spammers and get their e-mail address banned. The "Stop Spam" forum is most helpful since I can't see the spammers' IP#'s unless I happen to manage to catch them in the act of trying to log into my forum site.
