So due to the recent forum spam, I have re-enabled the system I used in the past which would verify IP addresses, usernames, and email addresses against a master database of known spammer accounts. This did cause problems by falsely identifying people as spammers in the past, but at this point this is the only way around the recent influx.
Someone suggested to only allow new threads to be created after you have X number of posts. This may help with some of the spam posts, but the spammers will then just start adding spam posts to already open threads.
We'll see how the spam checking system works.
