Hey guys i recently opened a multi topic forum and today came this spammer who makes account after account and spams the hell out of my forum. He leaves links to democracyforums.com. Since Im new to this, can anybody tell me some ways to stop him and other spammers, or are there any mods for that problem. Thanks in advance!

Jump to PostThere's another thread here discussing this very issue:
Jump to PostWhich forum software you are using? I think "captcha" can minimize spam but there is no solid solution to stop spamming.
Jump to PostDo what the forum admins do here.. snip url's.
delete threads and ban spammers. We have mods located all over the world so that DaniWeb gets 24/7 (normally) coverage. And what the mods don't immediately catch there are many regular members who report spam and other problems to the mod …
