With this kind of forum, I've found that also accumulating IPs and just banning a range works as well.  Also, I've found domains before that work just as well as the IP, in the case of dynamic IPs.

Thanks!  This is pretty low on my forum maintenance priority list, but this'll be helpful for a rainy day!

One of the times I went through my forum and cleaned out bots/spammers it nearly doubled the performance.

(No, I'm not asking for this tedious headache/job. Just, whoever does it, I feel your pain.)

Yeah, the lousy code they use does lock up the post event.

I hate spiders that ignore robot.txt too.

If I remember correctly, this version of Simple Machines has a page where you can put check boxes on suspect accounts, about 50 per page....and just delete them...POOF!

On second thought...if you really trust a random martian with the ability to delete accounts and you needed an eye on it, I wouldn't mind doing it too horribly.
