Do you use a spam filtering addon to VBulletin? These can flag posts based on the IP used.

This continues to be a problem on this forum. The settings are too restrictive. I had another post moderated.

We're trying to find the good balance.

It got to a point where the forum was virtually unusable for us due to all the spam. It would take hours every day to clean up.

Blocking foreign IPs has helped alot but we're still trying to cut it down to a reasonable level.

This weekend was especially bad for spammers over on a forum I help admin...

We finally just disabled new registrations for a while to keep it down...

One thing you could do is not allow the page to load from someone using its IP address. Make the use of the dns name mandatory. Use vhosts and send the ip to blank page. Im pushing my forum group to do this also...

Of coarse you can check this by changing the ip address of the forum and see if the spam subsides for a bit till the bots find it again...
