Just a quick heads up - the forum seems fairly new so I don't know how much of a problem you've had with forum spam, yet - but as the forum grows, so does the problem.

Anyway, just in case it helps, here are a couple of places you may find useful:

http://www.securitywatch.co.uk/forum-spam.html
http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=24

I moderate at both, so if you need any help locking down the security here, feel free to give me a buzz.

I think we're good, but I did remove those links from your signature, at least one of them could have been construed as advertising.

We don't do too badly for spammers here, and keep a close eye on things. Thankfully, we get good reports from users who spot problems.

That's a shame, and a little harsh, but understood. You may want to consider killing signature links in general, as I know there are forum spamming services that exist to simply get signature links onto forums.

Hopefully you'll keep on top of things, but they can get very aggressive, but most of it can be blocked with a few tweaks.
