This is only what I do, maybe there is an easier way, maybe not.

 

I find it interesting that this software does not have an admin area that we
can adjust and moderate these areas without having to mess around with the
database.  Maybe that is planned for the future, I hope so.  If anyone wants
to comment on this, I would be interested.

 

Ok, back to the original subject..

 

When I am deleting a user (or spammer), I delete the following from the
database:

 

.         File - I look in here if there have been notices

.         notice

.         profile

.         profile_tag - if what they have as tags are examples of Spam 

.         user

.         user_group

 

this is all providing you keep a watch on your site.  I check at least daily
and rid the site of Spam daily as required.

 

I think the new ReCaptcha plugin is going to help sites a lot, I currently
have the BlogSpamNet Plugin active as well, but it is strong (very strong)
and blocks a little too much for my liking for my site.  While my site is
not totally adult orientated, there is an aspect to it that requires adult
material to be available for posting and the plugin blocks this type of
stuff.  Although I have only just started using it recently and need to test
it further.

 

I plan on downloading the source from blogspam.net and install on my server
and see how it works and what adjustments could be made.

 

Anyway, hope that helps you.

 

I hope that others join this thread with other suggestions.

 

Regards
