We seem to have a spambot problem on the board.
I have some useful ways of dealing with that, if anyone's interested.

When adding new people, run their IP addie through stopforumspam.com to see if they're a bot. Watch for IPs in central Europe and Russia using geolocator.
And when you catch them, ban them on hostname rather than just booting them.
