Hi Jon,

Most spammers are bots. It has been my experience that implementing a couple of things will significantly slow them down, if not stop them entirely.

1. Use CAPTCHA to complete the registration process. Bots cannot read the graphic, so they cannot register.
2. Disable posting by guests (unregistered users).

I'm not trying to step on any toes here. I'm just trying to help. :)
